"One small step for Google...
On July 20, 1969, man first landed on the Moon. A few decades later, we're pleased to cut you in on the action. Google Moon is an extension of Google Maps and Google Earth that, courtesy of NASA imagery (thanks, guys!), enables you to surf the Moon's surface and check out the exact spots that the Apollo astronauts made their landings. "

haha nice one.. although the pics of the lunar surface themselves, they should commission Anthony (Bird) and Wes Higgins to get them some higher resolution shots

I hadn't noticed the google home page icon (logo) change - is that recent?

Need Google Mars next. I used to have a really good Mars program but it became unusuable being DOS based.

And the best thing is that you don't need broadband to be able to use it.
Has anyone played with Google Earth yet?

Google earth is 'awesome', I found my house quite quickly and down to quite a good level of detail too! Bit scary really.
The photos seem to be fairly old, there's new buildings in the area that aren't on them.
