Real-Time Satellite Imagery?

Google Earth is one of the coolest things to come out of Google in the past couple years, but what if you could see real-time satellite images instead of photos that are a few years old? I was thinking about that the other day, and kind of dismissed it as something that's not likely to ever be available to the general public, at least not anytime soon.

Then I read this article on the SEW blog about an Australian company that intends to do just that. They're not talking about something 20 or 30 years down the road, either. According to their website, they plan to deliver a live, continuous true color image stream of the Earth by 2008.

The privacy issues raised by something like this will be incredible, but how cool will that be?
