Do some armchair exploration of the moon. Find the Apollo landing sites. 20 meter resolution isn't enough to see the LEM lander states, but maybe that faint dot is one of them.

Might be interesting. I would ping Hoagland, but he is very busy these days.

Wow this thing is neat. I can't believe how close it zooms. What the heck are they excavating up there? It looks like some kind of obelisk.

Hmm.

I wish it really could transport people to the moon. I can think of many barking moonbats that I would like to see removed from this planet.

Hmmm, maybe it's a early prototype for the iPod, done in lava black.

Don't bother trying to download the package unless you are using either XP or Windows 2000, have lots of memory, a broadband link, and a fairly new graphic card. The package will not install on ME or older windoz systems.

I couldn't find a Mac version; I plan to try the Google Moon thing when I switch to OS X in a while. :')

Great view on the super close-up mode! Seems like you can reach out and touch it.
