I thought that some of you might be able to utilize some of this. I, myself, wouldnt know where to start.

NASA Open Source Software


NASA conducts research and development in software and software technology as an essential response to the needs of NASA missions. Under the NASA Software Release policy, NASA has several options for the release of NASA developed software technologies. These options now include Open Source software release. This option is under the NASA Open Source Agreement "NOSA".
The motivations for NASA to distribute software codes Open Source are:

• to increase NASA software quality via community peer review
• to accelerate software development via community contributions
• to maximize the awareness and impact of NASA research
• to increase dissemination of NASA software in support of NASA's education mission

World Wind was a pretty cool app.

Haven't used it in a long time though.

But I'd like to look into some of their AI applications...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about AI. Would be cool to learn how to utilize it for something other than fun and games.

Maybe you could have the AI be a virus killer for your compy?

It can only do what you program it to.

There is no even semi intelligent, self acting, and self learning software that I know of. Once software can become truly self learning we will get true AI. But how the brain works and how we think is still a bit out of reach for the most part, at least in electronic hardware and software currently available.
