Larry and Sergey's SPACE dreams have finally gotten them to that final frontier -- Not quite!
For now, the dynamic duo are content with a 40-years lease term with NASA to build a high-tech R&D campus at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View. Their company Google retains the option to extend the lease term to 90 years with construction expected to start 2013 onwards. Initially, lease payable by Google would be $3.66-million a year.
The initiative has been lauded by both NASA and Google officials. Given the campus space i.e. 42.2 acres, Google plans to have its offices up to 12 million square feet, expand its workforce by a couple of thousands, and include housing for its highly-talented employees.
Google's association with NASA isn't new; earlier they've worked together on Google Earth and other such projects. The latest endeavor is billed to help NASA too -- in the expansion of its Research Park for space exploration, scientific discovery, and other such.
