Google Lunar




I don't know why these Space subjects appeal to me so much. Ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated with the idea of space exploration. I believe it to be one of the two last frontiers, for lack of a better word, left for us to explore. The being the worlds oceans. Take a look at this site. Google has teamed up with the Xprise to create a new space race. This one is for the first privately funded mission to the moon. Just robots for the time being. They also have a real intersting part to this to where the public can join in. It's called Lunar Legacy. You can put a picture of your family into one of the capsules that goes up, and it will set that image on the surface of the moon. Cool stuff :) Oh and don't forget to have a look at the one thing that has me really excited. I'm planning on booking a trip sometime in the future. Its a bit expensive, but I'm sure I can find a way. ;)

Old Time Colorado Springs


I was doing a little looking at Google Earth today and found this really cool image of Colorado Springs in the 1950's. It was on the wikipedia widget tha pops on google earth when you find certain areas. Just though I would share the photo. ; )
