Right, which is why I contacted the 'real' NASA about it, to determine
whether they're aware of nasa.com and disputing nasa.com per
http://rs.internic.net/domain-info/internic-domain-6.html.  Hopefully there
is basis for dispute, however if nasa.com can legally retain that domain
name, a public information campaign would be in order.
