sorry.. but no image is worth 67 Megs.

yeah, how about some JPEG compression, or a smaller version?
The 66.8mb file is the JPEG compression version.

if I zoom in close enough I can see my house!

Is it the same pics as the ones here from NASA ?

I remember downloading all the files almost 2 years ago. Looks like downloading from NASA right now is restricted. :disgust:

you're kidding, right?

Yes, he's kidding.

The combined images have 933,120,000 pixels, the surface area of the earth is 197 million square miles.

That works out to roughly 4.7 pixels per square mile, or each pixel is roughly 1/2 mile x 1/2 mile, or 1/4 of a square mile.

Yeah this was in that huge thread started by some one (forgot who it was). I tried to open it on my then new computer and got its ass kicked. I hope I have better luck this time... though I dont have 1 gig ram. 🙁
 
DAnmit, I cant open it. Maybe my version is curropt. ACDC says the bitmap cannot be created, and Photoshop crashes. Danmit, I suck.

egads.

it'd take all night for me to upload that sucker to my site. (and the next day.. for sure.)

course, it'd take all night to download it. (and probably the next day, too) (that is.. if it were online right now). thankfully, Viper GTS has volunteered to send a copy via snail mail.

so you're looking at about 4 days there of interim.

i wonder how much it's gonna cost at kinkos to get this sucker blown up BIG.
