Google Earth launched its new update on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, which allows users to explore the moon like they are able to explore the ocean floors virtually, thanks to Google Earth version 5.0.

We’ve all seen pictures of the moon landing, and while it looks like it may be fun for a half-day excursion on a school trip, quite frankly, I think exploring the moon extensively would be rather dull. The low gravity factor will hold you enthralled for all of fifteen minutes, but after that there are only so many rock formations and craters you can point out before you’ll need to bump into the man on the moon and discover something made of cheese to alleviate the boredom. And exploring the moon virtually can’t be much better, can it?
