9/12 class

Today I was given a unique assignment: help find Steve Fosset (the first person to fly a plane around the world without refueling and the first person to fly around the world in a balloon). He has been missing since September 3, 2007 when he went on a flight in his private plane, and is believed to be somewhere in Nevada. Google Earth has supplied satellite images on the amazon website, which people can visit and help aid the search by reviewing these images and reporting "hits" of any suspicious objects that resemble a plane. I participated in the search efforts; however, I feel that in some shots the image quality is too pixelated to be read easily. Still, it is good that the public has a chance to be involved in this noble cause.
