Did they have to build a new data center? Hire specially trained astronauts to run it from it's location on the moon? Sitting in special chairs made from exotic materials they reverse engineered from UFOs? I mean JFC where did that money go? It makes the dotcom days look like an era of fiscal responsibility.

- cjdavis 13y agoSee the previous discussions, here's one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6492127 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6492127 It wasn't simply the website - it's the entire exchange including call centers, advertising, etc.
- ianstallings 13y agoAh, yeah. That makes sense. I can't imagine the call center for that program. Probably looks something like mission control or a war room. Then all the surrounding stuff. When you throw in facilities plus all that surrounds the program it makes sense.
