Google Maps now has Mars & Mercury

[Tropo-Bob (Bob)]

Also has The Moon.

The globes can be rotated to look at from different angles.

I have had some fun checking it out this morning.

I like the question marks saying "what is this: this is not an alien colony. This is a processing artifact". They've anticipated the conspiracy theorists. oh wait... they think the landings were fake anyway. Non issue then.

I am waiting for Street View. Google can afford to send up a few rovers to start on it now. Someone will be selling real estate on Mars soon, it will be cheaper than Sydney.

You just keep off my 1 sq meter of Martian dirt I purchased umpteen years ago. Trespassers will be ......marsacuted or something

(Note to self: Must dig out the Certificate from somewhere )

This real estate business is selling 1 acre lots for $29.95. Now that is tempting as a future investment for my grand children's kids:

The obvious question is whether the title in enforcible in perpetuity?
At least you can build a residential dome on 1 acre of land. Can't do much with 1 sq mtr Brent.

I see they are claiming that Patrick Stewart has purchased land on Mars from them - make it so!

Why would you just buy a square metre of a planet when you can buy a whole star? (There's a very good chance it will come with its own solar system full of planets!)

I wonder if they will include the crater names people purchased on Uwingu. I have a crater named for a friend for her birthday and it would be a bit exciting directing her to it on her phone :-)

It's an acre, not a meter. But seriously, who the heck would be s****d enough to shell out for this (sorry, no offence Brent) when there can't possibly be any legally binding claim now, let alone in perpetuity? Wtf!

For novelty value, a couple of bux might be the go, - but $29.95!? Print your own.

Interestingly you can shell out $250 for 20 acres on Mars too - yay !

I wonder what google maps would say when I ask for directions to Vallis Marineris...
