If you look at the copyright info on the bottom, often it's Orbital imagery specialists, and sometimes is Aerial imagery specialists
 Wouldnt 'Google Mars' be good Start with the MSSS geodesy base map, add mola elevation, and then bring in your own MOC/THEMIS imagery on top Doug |

QUOTE (ljk4-1 @ Jan 13 2006, 10:30 PM) You remember the old rumors about spy satellites being able to read license plates and know what you are eating at an outdoor picnic.  Sure, but I was talking about civilian images! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

I followed your link, and I am at a loss too. It is GoogleMars but it is not Google. Then it is a space exploration company ? And then it is another company who is the medium ? And then it says register, but registration is not available yet. And then it says register at our forum. And the forum has 168 users and 16 messages total ?  This must be a joke .. I wonder if Google really know about it ... |

Google Earth v4 Released
KurzweilAI.net June 13, 2006 ************************* A new beta version of Google Earth features 3D textured buildings, better user interface, and higher resolution images.... http://www.kurzweilai.net/email/newsRedire...ID=5628&m=25748 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
