Think of the amount of satellites they would need to have a constant live feed of the the world. How big an area do they cover at a time anyway?

To be honest all I can see happening in the near future would be an image that updated every time a satellite passed over it. Even then that would cost far to much for it to be a free service.


On another note, on the old version of Google earth (the one I have on this computer) Area 51 is in the sight seeing section, however in the newer version (I have on the other computer) Area 51 seems to be missing.
