Google founder buys fighter jet

Recently Google bought 1982 light attack Dornier Alpha Jet to assist NASA projects. This is not surprise, H211 LLC have many jet fighters used for Google projects. H211 managed to get the rights to operate from an airstrip ten minutes away from Google HQ near the south end of San Francisco Bay, California. Moffett Field isn’t an ordinary airstrip, it is owned by NASA. You can’t land your aircraft withour permission. I read somewhere that Google is assisting NASA in Space projects providing search solutions. Dornier Alpha jet of Google is a toy being used for the big NASA projects.

After a course of 4 days the ice sublimation was started. It seems to be very amazing. Though the scientist are not 100% sure weatherthe white stuff is really ice or some other stuff which is disappearing because of change of temperature on mars.

The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf of NASA. Project management of the mission is by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Spacecraft development is by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver.
