NASA Releases New Topographic Map of North America

robsimmon writes "Given all the NASA bashing lately (and the tendency of Slashdot contributors to assume NASA does nothing but Human Spaceflight and Space Science) here's a recent NASA success story: NASA's Newest Maps Reveal a Continent's Grandeur and a Secret. Granted, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission did fly on the Endeavour, but it was an Earth Science mission. Interesting signature of the Chicxulub impact crater, which was not visible in previous topographic maps."
