::Yes, I wasnt sure about the copyright policies regarding satellite images. But I was rather amazed at the detail on these satellite images, you can see clearly the cars and jets the employees use to commute. Too bad about the copyrights, best stay out of trouble.

::: I'm fairly sure those aren't employee cars (it is a curiously large car park, I'll admit). Most of them are white, and most look (I think) like trucks or vans. The ones that aren't white all look like some muted colour (khaki or grey, perhaps); I can't see any that are red or blue or green (the colours normal people choose for their vehicles). So I think these must be various facilities vehicles, tenders, shuttlebusses, etc. I don't think anyone commutes overland from Vegas (only the JANETs, as it's so far) and there's no mention anywhere I can find of folks commuting from Alamo etc. by car (they seem to park in city lots near the NAFR shuttle and take it). You're right about the detail, there's all kinds of interesting stuff. Dreamland Resorts have an annotated map [http://www.dreamlandresort.com/area51/area51map.html here] based on their analysis of the satellite photos. -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter | Talk]] 21:00, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
