Google has just launched a new interactive site. Google has taken their maps program and applied it to the moon (has been around for a while) and just recently Mars.
You can scroll around the surface and check out the features. Google has also highlighted where landings have occurred along with, dates, names, and stories.
If you go to the moon map and zoom in all the way you will get a little surprise. It seems Google has solved one of those popular questions of all times.
Here are the links to the moon and Mars.
MOON
MARS
Since we are on the topic of the moon you might be interested in checking out Virgin Galactic. It is some fun reading, this company is planning on flying people to the moon for fun. You can buy shares now, I think. Last time I had checked on them they still hadn't gone public.
Jolene just woke up, we need to go grocery shopping and go to the library. Tata,

hey, cool moon and mars stuff. Noah and I laughed hard at the "cheesy" moon gimmick. Those Google guys are pretty creative. I read an article about them in USNWR. Tell Brandon that they are hiring about 100 people a month if you guys want to live in Colorado:)
NOah did the little :) thing. We are supposed to get a big snowstorm tonight so everybody is kinda festive...I'm even staying up past 10 because we are just about assured a snow day tomorrow. Of course that means we will have to go on Good Friday :( supposed to get 6-9 inches...they've been wrong before.
