Vagrant0 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 http://earth.google.com/ Just felt like sharing my newest way to kill free time while still looking like I'm doing something constructive. Basically, it's a 3d model of the planet with satalite images placed all over it so you can zoom in and see cars, buildings, and such in freeze frame. It even has some mountains, valleys and buildings rendered into it so that you can look at the grand canyon or the streets of NYC. Now beyond the whole "I can see my house, wait, why is Google taking pictures of my house?" aspect of it, you can move around the surface of the earth freely, looking at all the places you'll never actually see (like area 51 (yes, it's actually there, follow the trail of speculative comments)). Anyway, discuss the program, Big Brother, strange findings, or anything else relatable. Just be sure to include the coordinates of whatever you find so that we don't have to go searching around for it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamBatosai Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 How about the coordinates for area 51? I'd like to see what they're hiding from us. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 can you see chicks in the shower? i wont bother getting it if you cant Ok, lets think about this for a second. Look at the resolution of the photographs used. Notice how a person-sized object might be visible, but only as a featureless blob. Notice that any of the interesting details of women in the shower are much smaller. Now consider that the pictures are taken from above, while most showers typically have a roof in the way. Of course the sheer size of the area covered means there's likely at least one woman in an outdoor shower or something. So yes, odds are you can spend an insane amount of time and effort to find a featureless blob that represents a woman in the shower. Or you could save yourself the effort and just look HERE. Your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 One image on the first page of the search. Good luck with that! :D I, too, would like to know the coords for Area 51 (nm, found it! 37.24, -115.816). After all the (probably rubbish) rumours I've heard about it I would have thought they'd have prevented the satellite imaging from taking place over their airspace.

Your call.Im not sure about the rules but isn't it against the rules to post links to explicit sites because I dont see how porngraphy is related to the topic. Now on topic. On google earth can you see the exact north and south poles. I haven't fiddled long enough to see if you can. I ask this because usually, when in orbit, satallites do not dip under or over the earth. but perhaps this one does, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopgoblin Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I've found a few things that I think are cool, or I don't know what they are.A U2 spy plane in flight over Beale AFB (39 07'35.86"N 121 25'58.94"W)A mysterious black line in Greenland (69 03'06.39"N 42 32'29.59"W)The US Air Force's graveyard in Pima Arizona (32 09'21.39"N 110 49'47.58"W) note the cut-up B-52s :closedeyes: :( >:( Pretty much every US AFB, Nellis and Dyess are my favorites.A B-1B bomber in flight (32 31'41.13"N 99 56'24.44"W)Pearl Harbor, you can see where the Arizona's turrets were, underwater.there were some other cool places, but I can't remember them now.

Vagrant0 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 can you see chicks in the shower? i wont bother getting it if you cantUnfortunately it doesn't work like that. Even going through a list of nudist colonies only turned up a few blurs that might be people. If that's all you're after, there is a whole database of pornography available online (called the internet). There are much more interesting things to look at anyway. 31°34'42.70"N 65°49'53.07"E for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejake1453 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 i was only kidding about the people in the shower ;D but i'm deciding not to get it anyway, i was talking to some one who once had it and they said its a huge memery log and you cant even see australia properly because not many images have been taken :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
