Welcome Home My Fellow Astronauts!
Side note: Anyone ever use Google Earth? That is one AWESOME program. I recommend you Google it! You can scan the earth from above and see my house too!
I visted Paris, Grand Canyon, Disneyland and Huntington Beach (grew up in the smog, choke)today.
So Google Earth and Welcome home Astronauts!
Sincerely,
Devon
Anyone need a logo?

That is a cool program. I zoomed in on the house I grew up in and got a pretty good picture from the equivalent of 450 feet above it.
It is kinda scary, though, to think that if any joe smoe can use a program like Google Earth, which is Updated only periodically, that you know the government surveillance satellites can do the same thing at a higher resolution IN REAL TIME!!
Some gov't hack jumps on the CIA version of Google Earth and can zoom in to see what is going on in the Burger King parking lot in Anytown, USA whenever he wants. Scary stuff.....

You can zoom in to some of the place , not all. Kind of hard to figure out the street where am staying even; The resolution is too low over my place.
