NASA, Google team up picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 10 image entries
Contest Directions: 
[ NASA and Google have teamed up to make Google Earth flyovers available for the surfaces of Mars and the moon. Additional Google Earth data will include real-time weather forecasting and visualization, as well as tracking of the International Space Station and space shuttle activity. ]
NASA teaming up with Google to bring the next version of Google Earth is like a street bum teaming up with Bill Gates to bring the next version of Windows. On a tight government budget, NASA became like "down to earth" bum begging for money. Google, on the other hand, is getting into astronomy, and they made their first advances. Google's money is already astronomical.
NASA-Google already talk about possible space missions projects. Given the past mistakes, NASA asked Google to equip each space shuttle console with
"I'm feeling lucky" button.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything related the Google - NASA partnership. Feel free to show what changes this alliance will bring in forms of products, new logos, space missions, etc.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | A research and development partnership was announced between Google and NASA in the autumn of 2005. However, not much has happened since that time, with both Google and NASA conceding that there are roadblocks that have yet to be surmounted completely. Google and NASA did finally solidify their agreement and announced the same to the press on Monday. Google and NASA also provided some insights as to what sorts of projects and products would be forthcoming as a result of the partnership. The first collaboration between Google and NASA is expected to involve the availability of information about NASA on the Internet and World Wide Web. NASA Administrator, Michael Griffin, announced that there would be Google Earth flyovers available for the surfaces of the Moon and of Mars. In addition, there will be real time weather forecasting. Moreover, there will be tracking of International Space Station activities as well as of the Space Shuttle when the Space Shuttle is in flight. The partnership has other planned projects and products including the fusing of other NASA date into Google applications of different types. There are also planned human and computer interaction projects as well as education related collaborations. Indeed, even joint space missions between Google and NASA appear to be on the table. |
