google earth moonWhen will I be able to explore the Moon in Google Earth?

I heard there are plans to put the Moon in the Google Earth client. When are they gonna come out with that? Are there plans to add any more planets or moons?
According to Google they are still working on it. The Apollo landing sites have already been mapped though -

A lot of Mars has also been mapped -

Today (13th March 2009) NASA announced - - that Google Earth Mars maps have been updated.

I don't know about any other planets. Most of the outer planets are gas giants anyway, so all you can see is a bunch of clouds - usually whizzing around at around 1,000 mph.

Probably the best space images can be found at NASA, JPL, Voyager and Hubble sites.




and

The Voyager site is great, launched in 1977 the craft should be reaching thegoogle earth moon end of their useful lives around 2025. They reached termination shock in 2006 and it now takes more than 14hrs for radio signals to reach them.
Why the hell would we look at the moon in a program called Google EARTH?
they have to fix the original first, still takes half an hour to upload and everytime you move it it has a meltdown
i dont know
In the future
Already is. Just go to the space feature, and type in " Moon."
im not sure because then it wouldn't be called google, Earth, it would be called google moon
probably. but you will not to explore the entire moon, im sure.


Not in google earth, but google maps.

Don't know if/when it'll come to earth.
thats kinda silly considering its called google earth...
they might make one called googlgoogle earth moone moon or google saturn though.
the clue is in the name lol
maybe the will make google moon next
and after that google mars

but they need decent photographs of the entire surface, or at least a high enough percentage of it so they can piece them all together.
at least they have the main basis for the program already in google earth so they could just adapt that...
You'll be able to explore the moon when they've patched over the secret alien bases.


Even then, I don't see why you'd really wanna look at it. It's just a big old rock... And It'll look just like a white version of google mars. :P

(Do they even have satellites orbiting the moon anymore?)
