Video content site YouTube as well as computer company Lenovo have come together to roll out a worldwide initiative that targets 14 to 18 year-old high school students, gaining the assistance of space agencies NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in the process to roll out the YouTube Space Lab, an initiative that enables students to design a science experiment which astronauts will then perform in space. Hmmm, space monkeys pulling tricks now?

A couple of experiments will have the privileged of being performed from space as well as live-streamed on YouTube, so make sure what you have in mind is good enough to impress the panel of venerable judges who include Stephen Hawking, ESA astronaut Frank De Winne and Cirque du Soleil’s founder Guy Laliberté. Interested students are required to submit a 2-minute YouTube video describing their experiment, and when March 2012 rolls around, half a dozen finalists will head off to Washington DC in order to take part in a ZERO-G flight that simulates the experience of life in outer space.

With two winners selected from the crop, their experiments will then be conducted 250 miles above Earth.

YouTube starts offering movie rentals in the UK

Heads up UK YouTube visitors, it looks like YouTube has finally started offering residents in the UK the same service it has offered to those in the US and Canada – movie rental. Released back in May for those in the US, and only just last month in Canada, those living in the UK will have access to about 1,000 movie titles.

It will cost viewers £3.49 to rent a new release, while library titles will only go for £2.49. There are also older titles which will be free to watch, but unfortunately these freebies will be peppered with ads which apparently you can’t skip.

Users will be given a 30 day time frame from which they can start their movie any time. Upon starting the movie, users will have 48 hours to complete it. The bad news is that it appears that not all the movies come in HD format, with most being of DVD quality at 480p. However viewers will have access to extra footage, such as behind the scenes, interviews and etc, although these are already pretty much all over YouTube for free to begin with.

YouTube mobile offers a new experimental layout

Websites/services that have been optimized for mobile phones are always welcome. It makes for easier browsing and it’s a lot neater than attempting to view a full website on a small screen, and now it looks like YouTube has enabled a new experimental layout, which by all accounts appears to attempt to further optimize the browsing experience on mobile phone browsers, such as Safari.

iPhone users are probably familiar with the native YouTube app on their phone that allows them to browse and view YouTube videos, however what the app lacks is that it’s unable to open up YouTube links that people send you via text message or email. It’s not exactly a deal breaker, but we guess that simple conveniences like these end up affecting us more than we realize, perhaps in the long run.

The new experimental layout allows for your usual YouTube activities, such as to like, favorite or subscribe, leave comments along with playlist and dashboard features. However if you were to surf on down to YouTube on your iPhone now, you’ll realize that you’re still stuck with the old mobile layout, so if you want to opt in and try out the new design, just surf on down to http://m.youtube.com/new_visual_design in Safari to enable it!

Hey Kids, Let's Put on a $4M VC-Funded Show! A Visit to the YouTube Moguls of Maker Studios (Video)

Recently, I went to Venice, Calif., to visit the hipster HQ of Maker Studios, a new-generation production company that has just gotten another $2.5 million in venture funding to help it make videos, mostly for YouTube.

That brings total funding from Greycroft Partners and GRP Partners to $4 million for a studio created to bring more professional original content to the Internet.

In addition, sources said, Courtney Holt, former president of Myspace Music, will begin helping Maker this summer as an adviser.

That means headier times for its co-founders Dan Zappin, Lisa Donovan and Ben Donovan, who have now definitively chosen the Web over the traditional Hollywood careers they started in.

Their strategy is not complex: Make more professional videos using better shared production tools, distribute and cross-promote them via a myriad of channels on YouTube, and make money using the Google unit’s advertising system.

There is interest in the model. Google — which has a tight relationship with Maker via encouragement and also a $100,000 grant — even bought a competitor, Next New Networks, in March.

And while Maker has a hey-kids-let’s-put-on-a-show-meets-Jon-Stewart-ironic vibe, it has garnered many hundreds of millions of views monthly and made some Web stars already, in what has amounted to a virtuous video circle.

Will it work? Who knows, but it certainly is colorful, as you will see from my video tour below, along with an interview with its founders:
