@BtownDesignGuy:
All they need to do is invent the ansible. Oh, wait. Wrong sci-fi property. Um...can I do the countdown? Ten. Nine. Eightsevensixfivefourthreetwooneblastoff.

I used to love SL -- they lost me when they went from a libertarian "government" to a totalitarian one.

Is there really a NASA area in SL? What's that picture from?

Seriously, why do you guys give this program so much news coverage? It's really really bad.

What kind of latency issues would they have on the moon? At the speed of light, it takes light roughly 1 1/3 seconds to go from the Earth to the Moon, so you're looking at a latency of at *least* 1333ms, even in ideal conditions. Unless they can find a way to establish an IP connection through a temporal distortion. Ha!

This is just a cover up to allow them to play WoW on the moon/mir space station. "It's not a raid! I am in a meeting right now"

I'm rather slow here, but are they proposing to have a Moon within Second Life, or set up a network on the moon?

Imagine the latency.

Well this by far seems like their best way of reaching out to Generation Y. I personally would rather apply for the real thing over sitting in front of a computer screen playing, i mean paying for a game.
