We had enough hits in the Shuttle thread with map views - I thought maybe this deserved its own thread.

This is just north of Edwards AFB: Honda Test Facility (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=34.958677,-117.883848&ie=UTF8&ll=35.27134,-117.960634&spn=0.048562,0.090895&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs&hnear=0x80c3cafefecfe12d:0x73ea8588eed27a7b,%2B34% C2%B0+58%27+18.84%22,+-117%C2%B0+52%27+51.93%22&gl=us&t=h&z=14)

Any other interesting places you've stumbled across?

For some reason your link, and everyone else's links in the other thread when I click on it I get a page with the only thing on it being a # and a pop-up box that says "Interner Explorer has modified this page to help prevent cross-site scripting".

Hmm - works from FF, but I get the same message as you when I try to open it with IE. :confused:

I had no idea. Cannibals ate her and there is a preserved turd. Why is this not common knowledge?
