Great man and great project. Geospatial information puts everything into perspective and allow people to vizualize what's really happenning.

Some one out there should try and stop this deforestation - only talks is not going to work as deforestation is pretty rampant in Borneo. Not long ago - logs of woods carried down stream and was reported in the newspaper - So help our forest for the future of the our children not only to fill up the pockets of this loggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@EdTheBadass That is true, Homo-Sapiens instinct is to explore and adventure however i think stuff like money holds everything back. If it wasnt for economics and everyone worked for the goodness of mankind then i believe we would have already reached the space age. Unfortunatrly there are some greedy corporate bastards that like everything for themselfs and until the day where they are gone i cant see humans fully colonising space.
