Racoon Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Interface similar to google maps, in development. Read about at: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Google/?p=128 Or Visit: mars.google.com S' cool This World now brought to you by Google.Google...It's everywhere you want to be. :hihi: Nice thread starts JKellmd...:eek: Could use more of your initial opinion however.

InfiniteNow Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Perhaps this is a bit like buying stock in a company before it gets large... Like buying Apple stock in the 70s... We'll likely be on Mars one day soon, so if Google can get their foot in the door and own as much of it as possible now, who knows? Quote
jkellmd Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Posted March 13, 2006 S' cool Could use more of your initial opinion however. My implicit opinion is that it's extremely cool. The utility of the program and it's functionality is still to be determined. I am sure that more sets of eyes surveying the surface features of Mars will prove fruitful in the short term future. The kind of research and bookmarking made possible with google earth is pretty mindblowing, if you are interested in exploring the functionality deeper than making fly-overs. I don't personally have time to create brewpub maps of the entire U.S. - but I certainly appreciate those who do. Quote

Thats a backhanded compliment well received! :eek: I feel sorry for those who are not independantly wealthy with nothing but time . :hihi: Check out those links folks! Quote
Tormod Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Good catch, I was actually thinking earlier today that Google would do eventually do something like this! Quote
CraigD Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 ...mars.google.comPretty cool. I’m reserving “very cool” for an extension of google earth that, rather than just allowing you to rotate and zoom in on the pretty globe of the Earth, allows you to zoom out and pan to the pretty globes of the moon, mars, and any other astronomical body anyone cares to hazard a guess at rendering. Call it “google universe” :hihi: Quote
alxian Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 i suppose thehumanbody.google.com is due in 2009? Quote
Jay-qu Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 craig - It is not anywhere near what you are talking about but celestia has got to be the closest thing, it is so extremely cool, i got it so long ago i dont know where i downloaded it from - a quick google ought to do it. It is like a simulator for the galaxy. Quote
