I think there's one very clear fact which shows that "nasa.com" was
intended to be used for those mistyping the URL. Remember that
"www.jpl.nasa.gov" was the URL given out everywhere for the Mars missions.
taz [1] nslookup
Default Server: localhost.hyperreal.com

Default Server: ns1.host.net

Server: ns1.host.net

Name: www.jpl.nasa.com
Address: 209.4.122.102
This also works for "mdpwww.jpl.nasa.com".
