Google Is Plotting to Take Over the Solar System

We’ll get back to the art some time. I promise. It’s just that things are actually happening to me these days, so I have some current content that takes precedence.

For example, I have recently uncovered a new dimension to the growth of Google: outer space. There now exist both Google Moon and Google Mars, along with the more famous Google Earth. Like their terrestrial counterpart, the two new websites offer complete maps of their respective heavenly bodies, although they are less helpful when trying to find, say, good hotels near Tycho Crater. However, the Mars maps come in Visible, Infrared, and Topographic modes, which is more than Earth can say, plus they have easy directions to help you find surface features like canyons or spacecraft.

This is all a lot of fun… but where will it end? Google’s avowed motto is “Don’t Be Evil;” let’s hope they stick to it.
