Random Googling. As I stated previously on my post about Google As A curse word, there is a lot you can do with google. So now I will be randomly putting phrases into google to see what the all seeing eye thinks.

Today’s Random Googling is: NASA technology shrinks a human

or: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=NASA+technology+shrinks+a+human&btnG=Search

Like all things web, Results may vary. The results I saw show a couple of interesting things. First I have a PDF from MIT about Bio Space suite, but no Shrinking Humans.

Next I have two from NASA’s website but they would never admit in shrinking humans. So we move onto NASA Spinoffs from Thespaceplace.com. This is a cool place that explains all the gadgets NASA has created for our modern way of living. The list is great but no real mention of NASA’s ability to shrink a human.

Next and last for this post is the opinion from the AIP – that is the American Institute of Physics which talks about if Mars should be Human Space flight objective? Now the article is not very interesting and doesn’t talk about any shrinking of a human. It is drier then the planet mars.

So I am afraid I leave with not discovering NASA’s technology that shrinks a human. Till next time, keep Random Googling and spread the hobby.

I think one guy is actually look up to the sky. The surrounding area isn’t mapped with high resolution. Google maps seems to upload the resolution by one square at a time, but how do they pick the squares? I wonder if they find anyone stranded on an Island after a plane crash… the others probably block that too. Very interesting if you zoom out. Not sure what is there besides a lot of goats, a well and some guy randomly staring back at you.

somewhere in Africa
