Hey all!

I found the coolest thing on Goddard Space Flight
Center's website. It's a fly-in from space to Orlando
Florida ("bungie jump"-style) that was composited
from ground-scanning satellite footage. I expected
it to fly into downtown Orlando, but was pleasantly
surprised to see that it actually zooms in on
Florida->Orlando->Disney World->Epcot! If you
pause a few seconds before maximum zoom, you
can even see FIRST city in the upper-right hand
corner!

The link to the website follows below. It's a 4.9MB
MPEG video, but if you can, you should probably
take the time to download it; your team might be
able to use the video in its promotions.

Take care,
Mark
