Just a bit of more info... The company that developed this technology is keyhole.com. It was established in 2001 and was acquired last year by Google. This company received substantial money from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency here in the US and also from a In-Q-Tel which is the venture capital arm of the intelligence community.
Not to be off topic, but this is an excellent model example of public private partnerships. keyhole's technology and many other innovations have been sponsored by government programs. A similar program in the EU is the Framework series (I think they are now in the Sixth framework). Having being exposed to both programs, I strongly believe the US model encourages innovation and less overhead and bureaucracy.
