Actually not the kind of apogee manager that my spaceship needs.

Did anyone else notice recently that Google™ is willing to install Google Apps™ on your spaceship?  Intrigued by the idea of watching someone fire up Gmail™ on the main viewscreen of the Enterprise, I obtained the following information from a Google™ representative:

Provided your spaceship has Internet access and a current browser, we can install and configure Google Apps for you.  Most new craft are equipped with space broadband wireless access (SiFi).  Please make sure your salesperson knows that you want 4G and not "4g", as the latter will make it more difficult to reach orbit.

As you represent a new market segment for us, we will also be launching (pun intended) Google Apps for Space Travelers (GAST).  GAST is a bundled package, centered on Google Apps, that includes additional services and features important to space travelers.  GAST includes: Message Archive & Discovery services so that you can maintain an auditable copy of your email communications; Backupify to ensure that documents are protected should sun spots interfere with your link; and Appogee Domain Managment Studio for sharing contacts and managing security.    We will also include OffiSync and Syncdocs, so that you have offline access to all of your Google Docs.

And, of course, we offer a full range of deployment and support services.  Our support is available by email, web, sat phone, and HAM radio (coming soon).

Please let me know if you are interested in pricing and financing options.

Regards,
Allen

Well, as much as I'd like to consider this a forward-looking initiative on the part of Google™, frankly I'm willing to bet that if my refrigerator had a current browser and Internet access, they would be just as eager to slap Google Apps™ onto it.
