This is cool news. Not only is the site running on wordpress they are also using k2 Thats funny.

That’s what I call cool! :)

Wow!!!
Space—the final frontier. These are the voyages of the blogship WordPress. Its mission: to explore strange new codes, to seek out new plugins and new php files, to boldly go where no platform has gone before

WordPress rulez! ;-)

all the best

Of course, Wordpress is the best blog software :p

João Craveiro | April 13th, 2007 @ 1:47 pm

And the theme seems to be based of K2. ;)

OK, I’m suitably geekish I think that’s cool too.

According to the source code, it’s running WordPress 2.1 & K2 Beta Two 0.95 RC1.

Cool.

That IS cool!

So sad that NASA couldn’t put a link back to WP…

Does this mean it is ok to rip cd’s and share them over P2P networks now that the government has toileted attribution?

Scotty would be proud lol.

Hey guys while a link back to WP is always appreciated as it helps spread the platform, it’s not at all required.

Alexey | April 15th, 2007 @ 1:06 am

Nice, of course. It seems to me, that wp is considered to be a great IT software.
I’m to glad to hear it!

wowowowow what a great news that is :)

Well, Yahoo! has been using Wordpress for their YPN Blog for a long long time !!

Alex | April 16th, 2007 @ 8:52 am

Good news, and this is a great plus when it comes to the credibility of one of the most exciting open-source projects in the past year.

Now, when someone critisizes WP, I can just leave them dumbfounded by replying “Well NASA uses it!”

Malte | April 16th, 2007 @ 4:40 pm

Yes indeed no link required, but we should be proud using Wordpress, shounldn’t we :)

Actually they do give an attribution, it’s just a little buried:
