US military recreates Earth

[TS | Thomas]

The US Army is building a 2nd version of Earth on computer to help it prepare for conflicts around the world. The detailed simulation will be drawn from a real-world terrain database & will be drawn to the same scale as the original.

Would you like to know more? Feel free to add your most satricial comments.
