Pretty sure you all know about this, but Ive just found out about it
clicky
This program allows you to type any destination in the world and show you on thier map. Even though im in okinawa it was nice to see home again from the sattelites point of view
True thier are better programs out there, but this one is free.

I've used that program extensively because I'm, a: Insatiably curious and b: Somewhat voyueristic. It's really interesting seeing all those distant locals I'll never be able to visit.
Side note, the government can censor photos if it wants. But keep this in mind. NSA HQ is not censored, Area 51 is not censored.....but the National Observatory in Washington D.C. is censored, with a large blur circle over it.....hmm....What don't they want us to see?

Maybe they removed the telescope and added retractable stinger missiles to it.

Way back in the '60s there was a no fly zone around the National Observatory in Washington D.C. as big as the one around the White House. I always wondered about that.

Out here in the midwest there are old missle silo's rusting away to uselessness, mostly covered by weeds and "Millitary Person's Only" signs and whatnot. Maybe there is a missle silo hidden in D.C.?
