Does anyone know whether NASA has any sort of processing going on in the same way that there is with SETI? If this sounds a bit dumb I apologise in advance. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=285"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/cas1701/v_twin.gif"> <a href="http://www.makepovertyhistory.org"><b>MAKE</b>POVERTY<b>HISTORY</b></a> |

Welcome to the Forums - Where we don't have stupid questions ( Just stupid users :-P ) Here's what NASA has hardware-wise: I'd assume that whatever processing NASA needs is going to be specific to the hardware, so I don't think that they'd be running BOINC per se - perhaps using it as a development template until they get their own system off the ground. |

Thanks for that. The reason I ask is that my other team member says that not only is she running SAH but "also clicks for NASA" and I was wondering what she meant by that, but thanks again for the input. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=285"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/cas1701/v_twin.gif"> <a href="http://www.makepovertyhistory.org"><b>MAKE</b>POVERTY<b>HISTORY</b></a> |

I first read that as "also chicks for NASA" With the 500th anniversary, how could we blame you? I know I've heard the expression "to click for [noun]" before... I can't remember what it was in reference to, but I know I've heard it before... |
