Google launches Google Moon
(July 20 2005) No it's not a matter of Google preparing for Moon colonization. It is rather an attempt to use Google Maps to present images from the lunar surface.
With the help of Google (and NASA) you can now surf the Moon's surface and check out the exact spots that the Apollo astronauts made their landings. And yes, it is all in memory of the first lunar landing on July 20, 1969.
According to Google's own blog the new site was launched in a week. These people definitely know how to tell a good story!
It should be noted that our colonization theory is not to far off the mark though:
According to the Google Moon FAQ Google can confirm that on July 20th, 2069, in honor of the 100th anniversary of mankind’s first manned lunar landing, Google will "fully integrate Google Local search capabilities into Google Moon, which will allow our users to quickly find lunar business addresses, numbers and hours of operation, among other valuable forms of Moon-oriented local information."
We are all looking forward to it.
