Got it, works pretty shabby, since the server seems to be down right now. It hate up my processing power too. But it's not all that bad considered it's free and all, and I have yet to see it work full power.

This can be soo handy for illustrating schoolwork........

Yeah, they're aware of the landsat server issues. I've tried it a few times when it was working, and it's mighty cool, I tell you. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

USGS stands for "United States Geological Survey." Their logo is pasted all over the aerial views in the U.S. The fact that they're the USGS automatically excludes any other country. :hopping:

The Landsat server (which provides 15 meter resolution mapping of the entire earth, apparently) has been having trouble. Hmm. Server trouble. Sounds familiar. *ahem* ANYway, jdtangle, you can select which mapping source you use with the buttons up top.

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!!!

with this thing I just found that there is a nike hercules nuclear missle silo less than 200 feet off of one of my regular bike paths

lat 38.26985
long -89.94937

nike site sL-40L

it's the launcher base! they have all the retractable underground missle storage thingys there!.
I have gone by that thing a dozen times and I always thought it looked sort of odd, honestly it doesn't suprise me that it's military, I always thought it looked like some cult's compound. and holy crap the thing is huge!

I know where I'm going next time the weather warms up a little!

why the **** is this marked on a map!?
from NASA!?!
