NASA Uses Macs

[12dylan34]

At least partially. I was under the impression that they were entirely Windows and Linux-based, but apparently not. Granted, they might just be using them for email, but still. Mission control was full of them. The images are screenshots from the live stream of the Mars rover Curiosity landing last night.

NASA has a BYOD policy. Under such a policy, I too would have a Mac to work with instead of my work approved Windows XP laptop :

A lot of industries and companies are implementing BYOD in the years to come.
