Google Mars

Google’s on Mars now. This is a great toy.

There’s a gazetteer built in, so you can go to spacecraft crash landing sites, and geological features. The infrared images from the Mars Odyssey orbiter provide the highest resolution close up.

I hope Google will incorporate images from the Reconnaissance Orbiter as updates.

Very nice, but I’m still not happy about the China thing.
