The Adventures of JStar88 on The Blue Marble

Google Earth, Google Moon and a Giant Leap

A few weeks ago I posted about Google Earth and how very, very cool I think it is. I followed-up on that blog post with an article for NOW Magazine titled "Around the world with Google Earth" (my version ¦ the NOW version) that is running in tomorrow's paper. Any comments on that article can be posted here.

On a related note, today, in honour of the anniversary of the first manned moon landing, Google launched Google Moon with markers of the six Apollo landing sites. Check it out, and make sure to zoom all the way in for a funny Easter egg...

If you're a junkie for the big cheese, also check out the One Giant Leap: The Legacy of Apollo 11 mini-site my team at the Discovery Channel Canada produced back in the day (1999). There are even some stories from my li'l sister, from when she was an intern.
