Google Earth Now
Takes You to the
Moon
Google Earth users can now keep a
watchful eye on the moon.
Google Earth Lands on the Moon
One small step for Google Earth is one giant
step for moon buffs. Google has updated its
popular mapping software, Google Earth 5.0, with
a complete map of the moon that lets you explore
craters, historic sites and human artifacts. You can
even view the moon in the style of Google Street
View, checking out astronauts as they wander the
moon’s surface.
The moon is viewable in Google Earth 5.0,
available here. Just click the install link on the page,
then run the Google Earth software once installation
is complete. Once the program is open, look for the
icon with the ringed planet on the top toolbar and
select “Moon” from the drop-down list.
Readers with long memories may have seen this
coming in 2005, when Google provided a map of
six Apollo mission landing spots. That same year,
NASA and Google agreed to collaborate on a
variety of fronts. “Imagine having a wide selection
of images from the Apollo space mission at your
Monday August 10, 2009 • Issue 32
861
fingertips whenever you want it,” Google CEO
Eric Schmidt said at the time.
The chatter resumed in early July, when Google
announced a media event at which Apollo 11
astronaut Buzz Aldrin would speak. That event
was scheduled for July 20, and Aldrin was indeed
on hand to help announce that the moon is viewable
in Google Earth.
The feature is more than just a few photos of a
lifeless gray sphere. Aldrin and Apollo 17 astronaut
Jack Schmitt give virtual guided tours, and there
are rover concepts with previously unreleased
video footage, historic maps, human artifacts -- try
finding the American flag, perhaps? -- and “street
view”-style panoramic photos. The base map of the
atlas itself is a lunar terrain data set captured by the
Kaguya laser altimeter.
All of this stems from the 40th anniversary of
man’s first moonwalk, which occurred on July
20, 1969. The Kennedy Presidential Library and
Museum in Boston began retelling the mission in
full.
Moon Navigation
To get started on exploring the moon, launch
Google Earth 5.0, find the icon on the top toolbar
that looks like a ringed planet, then select “Moon”
from the drop-down list. Once viewing the moon
in Google Earth, you’ll notice, in the lower lefthand corner under “Layers,” many bookmarks to
points of interest on the moon.
Mapping the Moon
The moon may seem plain from afar, but there’s
no shortage of spots of interest to find through
Google Earth.
Zoom In on Points of Interest
Clicking the red dots on the moon brings up facts
and history, and information about future NASA
plans.
Apollo 11
Look hard enough within the “Apollo Missions”
section of the “Moon Gallery,” and you’ll find

CRICKET
ICC board will hold on to WADA
Senior officials on the ICC’s decisionmaking executive board are unlikely to
support any radical suggestion from the
BCCI to shun the World Anti Doping
Agency (WADA) and opt instead for a
cricket-specific code without off-season
testing. However, they will endorse
the Indian board’s objection to the
contentious ‘whereabouts’ clause in the
anti-doping code and ask the ICC to try
and work out a practical solution with
WADA during a year-end review.
The ICC board is likely to discuss the
issue soon over teleconference, rather
than wait for their next scheduled
Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni
meeting in early October. And officials are a part of the pool of 11 Infrom a majority of the ICC board dian players who have expressed
constituents, including Australia and concern over the ‘whereabouts’
South Africa, have confided that they clause
would support India fully on the
‘whereabouts’ issue, but would like to remain WADA-compliant
for important reasons, not the least of which is the question of
government support.
For instance, government funding for grassroots cricket
programmes in England requires the English board to be WADAcompliant and Australian legislation requires the same of its
national sporting organisations. The BCCI, which will need the
backing of these three major boards to make any headway on the
issue at the ICC level, is an autonomous organisation that operates
independently from India’s sports ministry.
The consensus which has emerged is that the ICC board would
ask the governing body to raise India’s concerns with WADA and
hopefully, try to work out a cricket-specific solution when it meets
officials of the anti-doping watchdog for a year-end review. Cricket
Australia, for one, wants a “practical solution” but what remains to
be sorted out, though, is whether India’s players should continue to
be exempt from complying with the norms till then.
On Sunday, the BCCI’s decision-making working committee
resolved to back its players and reject the ‘whereabouts’ clause in
the amended WADA code, which was implemented by the ICC from
January 1. This clause requires cricketers in the ICC’s international
testing pool to reveal before every quarter details of their location
for an hour every day for the next three months to facilitate out-ofcompetition testing. The 11 Indian players in the pool have expressed
security concerns in this regard, especially because some of them
such as Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni face threats from terrorist
organisations. The BCCI has said that this clause, which prescribes
severe penalties for defaulters including a ban for up to two years,
also violates the country’s privacy guidelines.
Other international cricketers in the testing pool from other
countries had also expressed privacy and practicality concerns
about the clause but agreed to abide by it within the July 31 deadline.
The Indian board has officially suggested that instead of players
revealing whereabouts information in advance, the ICC or WADA
testers should contact the BCCI, which will ensure that the player
will be available within 24 hours at the required location for testing.
WADA officials have clearly stated that there can be no exceptions
on the ‘whereabouts’ norms, and the BCCI appears to be completely
isolated on the issue at home with the country’s sports minister
leading calls from top athletes and other non-cricket sportspersons
for the Indian cricketers to abide by the internationally accepted
code. But cricket officials from various boards are hopeful that a
solution can be worked out on the lines that football has. Football’s
governing body, FIFA, will abide by the ‘whereabouts’ clause but
has been given greater freedom in deciding who gets to be tested.
The cricketers in the pool were selected on the basis of their ICC
ranking in January, but as one ICC board member asked: “Can the
Indian board can be persuaded to join the system if some of their
high-profile cricketers who face security threats be removed from the
testing pool?” Cricket Australia, which became a founding partner
of the BCCI’s Champions League Twenty20 tournament last year,
is sympathetic towards the Indian board, and sources in Cricket
South Africa (CSA), the other founding partner, said they would
back India’s stand against the whereabouts clause. The England and
Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are tight-lipped on the issue except to
reiterate that English cricket has always supported WADA but their
players’ association has pointed out the link between government
funding and grassroots cricket.
“We are sympathetic to what the BCCI are arguing but we are
bound by our own national requirements: under Australian
legislation, national sporting organizations are required to have
a WADA compliant code,” Peter Young, the Cricket Australia’s
spokesperson, said. “If the BCCI identify a more practical approach
to this then we support the work that they might be able to come
up with. Nevertheless, we have sympathy for the BCCI’s view on
this and its concerns highlight the value of world sport continuing
to look at practical solutions to the particular issue which the BCCI
has highlighted.”
Gerald Majola, CSA’s chief executive, did not comment on the
issue because his own board hasn’t discussed it officially yet, but
there are enough indications from within the set-up and that of New
Zealand that their approach will mirror that of Australia. England’s
case is explained better by Sean Morris, the chief executive of their
Players Cricket Association (PCA), who says WADA-compliance is
a must though the cricketers are not happy with the whereabouts
clause. “Genuinely, we understand why the Indian players have a
problem, but where there a slight difference is because of the way
our sport is funded; we have government money going to grassroot
programmes,” Morris told Cricinfo. “That money is conditional upon
certain criteria, one of which is the board being WADA-compliant.
That is why it is a bigger problem for us. If we do not abide by
the WADA code then obviously some of our funding would be
impacted, and, that then has a knock on the grassroots. That is why
it is more complex here.”
It is ironic, really, that it is the players’ associations, whom the
BCCI doesn’t recognise, who seem to be speaking the Indian board’s
language. “We will welcome the removal of it and we support the
stand the Indians are taking and hope that if it is removed for the
Indian players it would be removed for all the other cricketers, too,”
Paul Marsh, who heads the Australian Cricketers’ Association (ACA),
told Cricinfo. “The solution is something we are not necessarily
completely happy with but for public relations and the government
funding of sport connected to the WADA code, we can’t help it.”
Any ICC board resolution requires seven out of 10 full member
votes and the one member who could raise some uncomfortable
questions for India is Pakistan, considering the recent dispute
between the two boards over hosting the 2011 World Cup. The
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is clear that it has, unlike India,
absolutely no problems with the WADA code and the ‘whereabouts
clause’. “PCB is totally WADA compliant now and the players had
no issues signing that clause,” Salim Altaf, the PCB’s chief operating
officer, told Cricinfo. Altaf said the PCB is also an autonomous body
like the BCCI but “had become WADA compliant because the ICC
signed on to it.”
