Google Copernicus Center is hiring

Google must be going lunar-tunes for now they are advertising for new job positions on the moon which is slated to open in Spring of 2007. All applicants must be at least 18 years of age by April 1, 2007 and have proof of earth residency. Google is an equal opportunity employer.

Searching the heavens
Once the facility is built, the real work begins. Google will be exploring a number of exciting research projects that have the potential to advance search science to a new frontier. Among the questions Googlunars will seek to answer are:

• Exactly how far does the Worldwide web extend?


• Can it become an interplanetary utility?


• If so, will it replace Water Works on Monopoly®?


• What are the likely effects of link attenuation over extreme distances?


• Is there a limit to link strength, or is it infinitely extensible like bubble gum that gets stuck to the bottom of your shoe?


• What happens to PageRank in the proximity of a black hole?


• Is there distortion that might result in link relevancy reduction or popularity warping?


• Could this somehow be harnessed to generate more dates for engineers?


• Does spam go on forever?

Why a lunar location?
With the establishment of the Copernicus Center, Google's mission has grown beyond "organizing the world's information and making it universally accessible and useful." Our new goal is to "organize all the useful information in the universe and serve it to you on a lightly salted cracker."
