If I haven't mentioned it here, I've mentioned elsewhere that Google is taking over the world. Well, it appears that Earth just isn't big enough for Google. They want the moon as well, and they've got a long-term plan in place already. The following quote is from this web page:
"Glad you asked, and yes, the development of our lunar hosting and research center continues apace. We usually don't announce future products in advance, but in this case, yes, we can confirm that on July 20th, 2069, in honor of the 100th anniversary of mankind's first manned lunar landing, Google will fully integrate Google Local search capabilities into Google Moon, which will allow our users to quickly find lunar business addresses, numbers and hours of operation, among other valuable forms of Moon-oriented local information."
They've also got some amazingly detailed pictures of the lunar landscape. In fact, go over to http://moon.google.com/, zoom in to the closest possible, and you'll see some amazing details of the surface. (Mouse on over, you won't regret it.)
