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."

That's cool and everything, but these satellites are kinda watching in the wrong direction, you know... :)
Knowledge about "the unknown" isn't always a cool thing. If you murdered a bus-load of children with a single box knife, and you happen to fall off a cliff and smack your head and wash up somewhere with amnesia, would it *REALLY* be cool to have someone tell you about the bus incident?

In Soviet Russia, satellite watches YOU!
Er, wait a minute....
IMHO, Landsat 6 has the best resolution of any of its siblings; thanks to its ultra-low orbit.
What those who want activist courts fear is rule by the people.
