Yep, Google’s got a space program. The NYT has a profile of the woman in charge, Tiffany Montague. Google is not so much thinking in terms of manned rockets with GOOGLE painted on the side, more in terms of stuff like sponsoring a competition to land a robot on the moon that can send back pictures.
