What do you think, the "google earth" in the coming 10-15 years may become live like a motion pictures?

Never going to happen. The photographs taken for Google Earth are a composite of images taken over time. One satellite can take several images and then they're pasted together in a collage to map the entire Earth. In order to have a live stream of the entire planet all the time, 24/7, we'd need a lot more satellites. The cost would be enormous, and if someone did implement the system then they're not likely to just release it to the public free of charge.





One company, AstroVision, tried this but could not get enough funding. Even still, they would only have video of a small section of the world and the picture would not focus to the street level like Google Earth; it would mainly show weather patterns.|||that'll be scary, there goes privacy|||TRUE............ and definitely, it will be|||i dont think so...at least i hope not! then everyone can see what you are doing and where..thats a tad creepy!! i would hope that that wouldnt happen but who knows? but i really think it is more of a privacy thing, which is why they shouldnt do it. |||It's impossible. We would have to have satellites constantly taking pictures of every inch of the Earth, then processing it fast enough to have a decent frame rate on the image. Even if that could be done, think of how much bandwidth/internet speed would be required to stream all of that.





It will never happen.
