Aug 28 2007Google Earth Now Features Outerspace
If you haven't heard already Google announced the launch of the Sky feature that is now included in Google Earth. It, um, lets you look at stars and planets instead of buildings and people. You can go to any location on earth and view what the sky looks like from that spot. You can also "blast off" and check out galaxies and nebulae and other things that don't really exist and are all make believe. Trust me, as a cosmonaut I know. You get up to the earth's atmosphere and it's just like a big cinderblock wall with stars and stuff painted on in glow paint. Kind of like the stickers on the ceiling in my bedroom. Come on over ladies and I'll show you the Little Dipper. I mean Big Dipper. Big Dipper. HUGE Dipper.
A completely unscripted video after the jump, explaining the new features.

You can mark planets as places of destination or origin on the map within google sky. Then try getting directions to some earth bumf*** town. LOL

At last I have a means to run a cosmic scale double-slit experiment. Here's what we do, you guys observe this thing, and I won't. With my power as a conscious non-observer, we'll see whether or not I can make this thing suck for you all.

Wow, that was one boring video.
As for the Google Sky feature, not as useful as Google Earth - at least not until I get one of thos NASA rockets installed in my car...
