“The GeoEye-1 satellite has the highest ground resolution color imagery available in the commercial marketplace and will produce high-quality imagery with a very accurate geolocation” - Kate Hurowitz (Google).

Now if you were paranoid about Google Earth, it’s time to build a bunker and hide, GeoEye is watching you.
