Google Moon Debuts

Ian writes "From the FAQ: '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.'"

    If you honestly think the moon landings were faked, you are mentally handicapped.

    Further proof that manned missions capture the public imagination far better than unmanned missions.

    I'm usually the first to accuse Americans of not caring about the world outside the US borders, but since they are commemorating the first man on the moon, it stands to reason that they only mark the manned moon missions.
