Thing 19 – Google Earth

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Mister McIntosh on 11-01-2009 and tagged , , ,

I installed the Google Earth app and also the browser plugin. Just for fun I checked to see if I could find the Pantex plant (near Amarillo Texas) where the government stores it’s decommissioned plutonium pits from nuclear weapons. Sure enough, you can see the  bunkers where they store them. Weird!

I don’t remember any of the actual addresses of places I previously lived (who would need to? — but I know I could find them on the “actual earth”), so I just checked out my old high school and a few other places. Real blurry — couldn’t see squat. Really neat stuff– at least for the places that have good resolution images (like Pantex).

Have you seen the movie “Two-Million Minutes?”
