I went to the site and 3 1/2 hours later at 2:30 in the morning
I finally had to stop looking as I was like a kid in a candy
store. There was just so much to see.
If you haven't been to the site, I urge you to as it's
just awesome. There is no other word for the site.

This partnership enables Nasa to provide a vast collection of imagery from
one searchable source
Shana Dale Nasa

Nasa is to make its huge collection of historic photographs, film and video
available to the public for the first time.

A partnership with the non-profit Internet Archive will see 21 major Nasa
imagery collections merged into a single searchable online resource. The
Nasa Images website is expected to go live this week.

The launch is the first step in a five-year partnership that will add
millions of images and thousands of hours of video and audio content, with
enhanced search and viewing capabilities and new user features.

Over time, the integration of Nasaimages.org will become more seamless and
comprehensive with the main Nasa site.

"This partnership enables Nasa to provide a vast collection of imagery from
one searchable source, unlocking a new treasure trove for students,
historians, enthusiasts and researchers," said Nasa deputy administrator
Shana Dale.

"This new resource also will enable the agency to digitise and preserve
historical content now not available on the internet for future
generations."

The content of the site covers all the diverse activities of America's space
programme, including imagery from the Apollo missions, Hubble Space
Telescope views of the universe and experimental aircraft past and present.
