Everybody’s talking about Google Moon. So. I’m going to do that too. First thing that came up in my mind was : great. Now Mars. And the rest of the universe ! Here’s a cute screencap from SERoundtable. In my RSS reader, they were first.
Quote:
“Google has annouced today “In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, we’ve added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you pay your own visit to our celestial neighbor.” The images are courtesy of NASA according to Google, and the particular area covers the exact spots astronauts made their landings in 1969. The area covered on Google Moon is not exactly large but their are zoom capabilities and all points of the Apollo missions are uniquely highlighted so you can trace the exact spots. Google has indicated that they are only displaying what NASA has given them.”
So, the To here – From here part… does it include public transportation info ? Or is it VIP access only? Any schedule of the upcoming rocket-expeditions ? :)
On a side-note :
[Google Job Opportunities] reports Google is hiring folks :
“Google is interviewing candidates for engineering positions at our lunar hosting and research center, opening late in the spring of 2007. This unique opportunity is available only to highly-qualified individuals who are willing to relocate for an extended period of time, are in top physical condition and are capable of surviving with limited access to such modern conveniences as soy low-fat lattes, The Sopranos and a steady supply of oxygen.”
