NASA announced that they have finally launched their new website design. The emphasis of this re-design is to reach more 18 to 25 year olds. They’ve added blogs, widgets, and a whole host of interesting features. I’m 34 and I like the new site. If the government can do stuff like this, then certainly those of us in education can also.

Of course, this is great news to me, because it combines two things I love – Web2.0 and NASA. I used to spend hours drawing and re-drawing the Saturn 5 rockets as a kid. I even had a model. I also had a really cool fully metal Space Shuttle toy that I don’t remember what happened to. Need to find that.

This past week I was even at the Johnson Space Center. My wife was at a conference in Galveston, so I killed the whole day by myself at NASA. That’s how much I love NASA stuff.  I just hope they don’t have an age checker to keep old dudes like me out of this site….
