Default Google is capable to find out the life on another planet

if they can find our homes on earth, they have nice designs, maps, nevigation paths to reach out. Hence if they decide they are capable to find out life on another planet, why not, it is possible. their earth.google site is beautiful, but when I tried to find out my home on it, the site said "error 440 not found". Is there a need to type logitude of my home, or is there any another trick to see my home from space. Can I see the BAUT's head office.

please guide.

No. Due to the secrecy of the location, our Disinformation Agents in Google have blurred its exact location.

For Google to display life on other planets just like they do here on Earth, they'd have to get imagery from satellites in orbit around the alien planet at an altitude of a couple-hundred miles...just like they do here on Earth.

Where'd you get the idea you had a right to go through life unoffended?

To extend that thought...

Google is only a way to store and search information that already exists, it doesn't do research... It's basically a huge file cabinet, where everybody else provides the files.

A while back there were talks of Google Maps censoring imagery from certain spots in India. Whether it is done by denying access or by blurring images, well, I don´t know.

Blurring images, which, oddly enough, they didn't do for Area 51.

[CT] Area 51 isn't Area 51. What you see in google are photoshops. The base layout isn't really anything like that. [/CT]

Well, CT, you've forced me to activate diss mode:
dis mode/ Yeah, well, normal people didn't type in 'Area 51' as the first thing to search when they got Google Earth. Normal people searched for their house. And then the pyramids. /dis mode

Hmm. My area in rural Ohio is blurred, also. Nothing here but cows, a greasy spoon diner, and a McDonald's. Conspiracy?

I already know what my house looks like, in much higher resolution. My first (, second, third, etc) trips into Google Earth were to Russia to troll for airfields. I was looking for Hind helicopters and MiGs. Mostly found airliners.

very funtastic reply by you, I loudly laugh over it, even on the seismograph my laughing graph is still continue. Just think, for a poor man like me "to show the world on one screen" is a nice concept no matter of journey to go there, no matter to expend huge money on purchasing, travelling etc, just by visiting the "earth.google", getting too much free. Because free is a very good thing to acquire and even without any effort it is getting.

I really don't know whether the aliens are doing "haking in the space to supress the ground points". It is difficult for aliens to read the sites, but they can understand the image, who knows!, because I don't know.
