I wonder what that same picture must have looked like 500 years ago, was probably alot more green.

 

[Parrdacc]

Say what you will, but it it still looks beautiful.

Can we get some 16x9 and 16x10 sizes? I can do it just not at work. It looks oval on my screen.

The beauty of the image must be why no one seems to have noticed the glaring typo at the top.

 

[Nakal]

But it has to be fake, you cannot see the stars! (well at least that is what the fake moon landing people say....)

If that isn't the creation of god I don't know what is.

Remember this was taken in January 4th which is during the wintertime so I wouldn't expect much green at this time of year. lol

[citation][nom]greghome[/nom]I'd prefer if they had taken a picture of Africa North America looks so boring and dry[/citation]

Got to agree on that one. World's biggest continent has way way more features of interest, although, the great lakes are pretty nice in the North America.

The US looks like 1 giant plain from space.

Now I want to see a gigapixel resolution image of this..
There's a whole website dedicated to gigapixel photo's and it would be awesome to see one of the Earth.

Even from space, you can't see any thing that we have built...
We are so arrogant to think that we are the rulers of this world...

If the whole world was as heavy on resources as US we would need 5 Earths to survive. Fact. Not sure about China, since they don't even publish proper data.

So this is what we get for our hundreds of millions in taxes? I think it could have been better spent.

 

[Guest]

I can see my house from here!!!!!!!!!!

China consumes resources like it's going out of style, plus they have much more lenient environmental laws, so they pollute way worse than the US.

Also, LOL at my work PC coming to a crawl while trying to load that image LOL
