Re: Digging holes WITHIN Google Earth?

Dont have a real answer, but your question makes me nostalgic. Long long ago, back in EarthViewer NV, the precursor of GE, there used to a function where you could just type "mirror" in a goto field, and be zoomed to the antipodes.

An even cooler function that has been left behind was the ability to save a "tour" that would take the viewer on a barrel-roll.

Of course the app crashed a lot, and there were only about 20 active members on the BBS. And hardly anywhere had high-rez coverage. Overall, its absolutely better today--but I still remember doing that roll on the projector screen at the club meeting and having several folks fall out of their seats

With no known exceptions, the cost of internal trust, efficiency and loyalty is external distrust. The "us against them" is not an optional feature, if there were some way to preserve the loyalties and the tremendous benefits of internal trust without paying the cost of the ferocious xenophobia, then that would be just what we want to do. But we don't know how to do that.
