The lease in interrogation will cost the hunt giant $ 1.16 billion over the term of 60 years . The building and airfield in question is the Moffett Field , where Google ’s founders have been set down their private jet for years .
Of course , we know this was add up . All the way back in February , NASA announce the deal with Google separatrix Planetary Ventures .
