    How is this news? Yes, Google Earth is very cool and great for getting info to the public. It's not like they are planning their orbit of a spacecraft with it.

    This article even barely mentions what they are doing with it.

  • wrestlingnrj, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2I feel very fortunate that the fire didn't swing south. I live about 3.5 miles from the Brea Fire. The pictures DaClub posted really bring the tragedy home.
