The tour then took you to the Matterhorn where the program dove down into the mountain and eventually showing the NES then to the graphics chip on the board. My department spent millions hiring airplanes to fly over certain areas of the bay area collecting images and processing them, which then got turned over to an outside company when SGI started faltering.
How did Keyhole fit in to this? I used to be on bbs.keyhole back before Google got hold of it and turned it into Google Earth. I always thought keyhole developed the tech for it?
Sound likes you do have some really interesting stories to tell
