NASA To Release Landsat 7 Data On the Web

UAVThumper writes "The US Geological Survey homepage is featuring an article about the upcoming release of select Landsat 7 image data (on June 4) at glovis.usgs.gov or earthexplorer.usgs.gov. This is to be a pilot project for a larger effort called the Landsat Data Continuity Mission, whose end result looks like a version of Google Earth using Landsat data. Seven Landsat satellites were launched over a period of 27 years, the last in 1999. More on Landsat can be found here on Wikipedia or here at the official NASA Page."

Simple: They've Jumped The Shark

[Crypto Gnome]

Face facts people, by and large, in the majority of cases , for all intents and purposes, the United States of America has jumped the shark.

It was once (a long time ago, relatively speaking) the obvious world leader in technical advances, science and research.

This is no longer the case more often than not.

I'm not saying it's dead, I'm not saying all-y'all should mass-exodus like lemmings, but seriously folks - the US of A is getting a little grey and wrinkly these days.
