Google Earth launches Google ... Moon game

You can now drive an Apollo Luna Rover just like the astronauts, on the moon, right in your browser. After the launch of the Moon in Google Earth and built on the Monster Milktruck Google Earth game (which I've posted about in the past) we now have the ability to explore an accurate moon landscape... It's a simple idea, take the code from Monster Milktruck, replace the truck with an Apollo lander and create a little GE API application web page. This what it looks like:

You can run the Apollo Lunar Rover game here.

One of the best things (and keeping in mind with the recent anniversary of the moon landing) is that you can see the tracks of each Apollo mission and re-drive the same paths. Well worth exploring and yet another great showcase of the Google Earth (or should that be Google Moon?!) capabilities.
