Far out!

When Paul and I visited the Internet Archive on July 18, we heard about their partnership with NASA to host a vast collection of its images. It wasn't public information yet--but now it is! How cool to find out about it via the Paleo-Future blog. From the Internet Archive's release,

Through a competitive process, NASA selected Internet Archive to manage the NASA Images Web site under a non-exclusive Space Act agreement, signed in July 2007. The five-year project is at no cost to the taxpayer and the images are free to the public.

"NASA's media is an incredibly important and valuable national asset. It is a tremendous honor for the Internet Archive to be NASA's partner in this project," says Brewster Kahle, founder of Internet Archive. "We are excited to mark this first step in a long-term collaboration to create a rich and growing public resource."
