How to Discover Impact Craters with Google Earth
Maikel_NAI writes "Believe it or not, Emilio Gonzalez, a Spaniard amateur began his crater search at home after reading an article about the discovery of Kebira, the biggest one found in the Sahara. After a couple of minutes he located two craters. After checking the records, he realized these were completely new, and now two geologists confirm his findings. And there is more, these craters may be part of a chain studied by NASA geologist Adriana Ocampo, so if it's confirmed that these new ones are part of the same episode, it could mean the definitive evidence for her theory of an asteroid broken into pieces fallen in that area."
Obviously Google knows to only allow that to be seen. How long would they survive if they allowed everyone to see evidence of the alien government conspiracy.
Ohhh! that is a big security risk!
Using these maps, terrorists could know where to throw their bombs when they want to hit the Golden Gate Bridge or Three Gorges dam!!
Man, all we need now is a Google Mars, and we won't have to bother with all this Orbiter crap.

I wonder how much the US millitary could have saved using Google Earth to search for WMD test craters in Iraq...
