Google Mars!!
 

Google Maps have just gone intergalactic... Using footage from the various space probes we have had scanning Mars, Google has created an interactive map of the red planet.

Check it out...

that's fucking cool! i'm really impressed by google lately!

I'm going to play the role of internet wise-ass today, and state that, technically, Google Maps has not gone intergalactic, just interplanetary. Intergalactic would mean they have a map of our neighboring galaxies. Currently, Google is still INTRAgalactic.
:thumbsup:

and this map is totally cool.

Now all I gotta do is build me a spaceship.

Dude! Mars is tottally psychedelic. :p

That is freaking cool, time to show this link off to everyone. Go google!

I originally wrote interplanetary... (didn't think of intragalactic) but to be honest, I just plain liked intergalactic.

It's full of hyperbole and it's a wicked Beastie Boys track... :thumbsup:

My question is what is the reference for the elevation of the terrain? Obviously on Earth it is sea level, but what is it on Mars? So, to Wikipedia I go, and:

Also, interesting to point out that the elevation difference between the highest and lowest points on Mars is much greater than the difference here on Earth between Mt. Everest and the Mariana Trench.

that is really facinating.

Wow, Mars has crop circles too.

Interesting stuff. I tend to goolge anything I'm interested in. Wonder why I always use google. Think I'll google for a better search engine. I liked the giant pimple- like features of Mars. -:)

This is totally wicked.

Google I love you! Ahh what will they think of next?

That was my exact reaction. Well done Google! :)

I would say there is almost nothing these guys can't do. Let's get the milky way in there so we can cruise the solar system..... The universe can't be that big, can it??
