Re: 100+ Reasons #SpaceApps Made a Difference

Jon, many intentional conversations with the challenge owners or other subject matter experts that may have interest in the solutions. We intend not only to follow up on the top challenges, but every one of the 100+ solutions that have relevance to NASA. This will be done over the next couple of weeks/months. Let me know if you want to a) help or b) know of somebody we should communicate the results with.

Nick, so how are you guys going to communicate these incredible contributions back into each NASA org at a NASA center or facility targeted 1-by-1 to each that actually does this as the mission of their organizations?

Re: We Choose Open Government

Hello, these are really very wise words of JFK “We Choose the Moon” speech. The fragments you've chosen to display are worth reading again and again. It's unfortunately though, that nowadays no one speaks like that, or at least there are only a few people like that. "The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds" is my favorite phrase, because I also used to say that: as our knowledge increases, we are beginning to understand how much we don't know and how much more we should learn. As for your initiative to be a transparent organization, I want to congratulate you, because not everyone choose to be straightforward with open goals and intentions.

We have a detailed description at http://open.nasa.gov/space - the last picture is the fishbowl, although it doesn't to justice to all of the windows overlooking the highbay - which gives it its name!

So, we are going to do real manned exploration of space when?
This appears to me to be a lot of talk and no action.
Nothing was said in this piece and certainly nothing concerning the core goals of NASA: SPACE EXPLORATION.
I fear that this is indicative of things to come with NASA. Nothing.
Very sad for those of us who grew up with the grand hopes of the Apollo program.

All of this plan is to promote scientific progress to serve the community as a whole, and I hope to continue scientific cooperation with all who loves to provide assistance to the progress of science, any opinion that even was a simple but correct is for the desired goal.

What an interesting open source project! I publish NASA's best space picts on Facebook - and it has many 'like's
The scientific knowledge is much easier to share thanks to your openness so far (O;

I love the look of these tables. I'm researching different options for building an Academic Commons in a College Library. Do you have more pictures of the space, including the 'fishbowl' that you mentioned? Thanks!

NASA has been doing great things with the budgets they have been given. Looking forward to the day when they lead the way to the discovery of sentient life in a far away solar system

Re: Large Aperture Photographic Array

Martin Taverille — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 08:34:34 -0000

Good idea. I had a very similar idea, for there to be a website so amateur astronomers can collaborate to point their scopes at, say, mars, then with their wifi laptops connected to the camera on the scope, they can send their images to the website which will use "super-resolution" algorithms to create a higher res pic they can all see as it evolves.
