New satellite to sharpen Google Earth (Chelsea Speer)
A new high definition satellite for Google Earth, named WorldView I, which cost $500 million to create, is going to be launched Tuesday, September 18th. You can now zoom in on objects/houses etc. way more than before, up to ten feet away from them. It’s supposedly a way clearer image now, which sounds like to me, is almost getting to the point where it’s an invasion of privacy.
