So, NASA is holding a series of Challenges to generate some simply awesome ideas for mobile or web based applications that will appeal to general users, to search and display compelling facts about the data. Instead of just scientists, our audience will be the millions of school age students, their teachers and parents, game designers and general civilians of the world. We want to deliver this incredible data to users in a way that excites them – and thus, to help them understand the value and potential of this data.




Geeks, start your compilers....

We effed up our database so much by simply dumping everything into the proprietary format of the year, that we need free help so we can again use the data.
That you the people actually payed for, but we´re so generous you can now have it "for free".

Until after you´ve converted it all to an easily data-mineable modern format, then go eff yourself again.
