Google Moon

[nacnud]

One small step for Google... <br /><br /><font color="yellow">On July 20, 1969, man first landed on the Moon. A few decades later, we're pleased to cut you in on the action. Google Moon is an extension of Google Maps and Google Earth that, courtesy of NASA imagery (thanks, guys!), enables you to surf the Moon's surface and check out the exact spots that the Apollo astronauts made their landings. <br /><br /><font color="white">How cool is that! Now where’s google mars?<br /><br />PS try zooming all the way in <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /></font></font>

It appears the bone calcium loss in low g conditions has just been solved!

This is a discovery that will shake the very foundations of science! Always believed to have been made of green cheese, Google now shows the Moon to be more like swiss! <img src="/images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I zoomed all the way in but did not see the six Lunar Descent Modules or the two Lunar Rovers. <br /><br />They must have fallen into the holes.

That site is all messed up. It goes from Apollo 12 right to Apollo 14. Silly Google.<br /><br />/sarcasm off

nacnud,<br /><br />That site shows how little of the Moon we have even explored the surface of.<br /><br />Thanks for the link, though, as the Google Earth satellite imagery is superb, where there is coverage. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> The secret to peace of mind is a short attention span. </div>

4. Is Google Moon a result of your Copernicus initiative?<br /><br />Glad you asked, and yes, the development of our lunar hosting and research center continues apace. We usually don't announce future products in advance, but in this case, yes, we can confirm that on July 20th, 2069, in honor of the 100th anniversary of mankind's first manned lunar landing, Google will fully integrate Google Local search capabilities into Google Moon, which will allow our users to quickly find lunar business addresses, numbers and hours of operation, among other valuable forms of Moon-oriented local information.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" />
