Hi there,
has anyone tried going to the Moon on Google Earth yet? I've been and it's quite interesting (if you are into that kind of thing). You can get guided tours of the landing sites from the astronauts who went there. To go there you have to download the latest version of Google Earth, which only takes a couple of minutes if you have broadband (it would take several hours on dial up, but Google Earth would not work on dial up anyway, and I suppose that dial up customers are very much in the minority these days).
another new feature on Google Earth is that you can set the current time and watch the light across the globe change as daylight progresses across the time zones.
I've always been interested in the Apollo missions since I was a child, I've always said that if I had a choice between going to a holiday destination of my choice on the Earth every year for the rest of my life, or going to the moon for a few days, I would choose the Moon. Some astronaut's outlook on life changed after they had been there, it was seen as an almost spiritual journey in some ways.
Ps does anyone want to start a discussion on if we actually went to the Moon or if it was all a hoax? What are your thoughts?
