<p>Yes.
Finals time or else an astronomy major would probably help out…
Here’s what I found in a quick search.</p>
<p>From when Malcolm Gillis was Rice’s president …
“The relationship between Rice and NASA goes back a long way,” Gillis says. “President Kennedy chose Rice University as the venue for his announcement of plans to put a man on the moon. Rice donated the land on which the Johnson Space Center is built; in return, NASA helped construct Rice’s space science building, home of the first space science department at any university in America. Because of NASA, Rice was one of the very first universities to establish a department of space physics. Rice’s Fondren Library is the official repository of a sizable share of JSC’s archives. In the past five years, NASA has supported research in several fields at Rice, including gravitational biology, work on the Hubble telescope, telerobotics, software for high performance computing, and research in nanoscale science and engineering focused on fullerene materials and fabrication of ceramic composites. This new joint venture centering on nanotubes capitalizes on this fruitful history, and will further strengthen our interactions with NASA.”</p>
