I'm missing Google Street View on those.

I wonder if there is enough panoramic photography to create street view for the various landing sites and traverses.

  There is definitely not enough. There were only two people on the moon at a time and a good part of the time they were doing things other than taking pictures. Hell, not one of them checked Facebook!

  Found street view for the Curiosity Rover: https://www.google.com/maps/space/mars/@-4.5895,137.4417,5338435m/data=!3m1!1e3 https://www.google.com/maps/space/mars/@-4.5895,137.4417,533... Strangely though there's no 'Search Google Maps' box for the Moon or Mars maps, so you have to search around a bit.

I don't think they're available in the web client, but if you 1) download google earth 2) View -> Explore -> Moon 3) In the layers panel, Moon Gallery -> Apollo Missions -> [Double-click the logo of your favorite] -> Click a Camera icon -> Click the Panorama itself, you'll fly into the terrain-aligned panoramas taken during the mission. (Sorry it's so confusing to find, we (joint google/nasa project) did this in 2009 for the Apollo 11 40th, when the tools weren't quite as good as they are now). Enjoy!

  This renders me speechless. Admittedly, my initial comment sounds a bit sarcastic, we were joking in the office here, but I was really impressed actually. But now I am speechless. I have to try that when I come home.

What are you talking about? They have 100% coverage for all streets on both planets. Canals, on the other hand...

  Technically correct.

    Although I think you'll end up with a divide by 0 error. :) /pedantry

  Is that Sojourner?

    Actually Pathfinder but yes, it is. Sojourner was the little rover. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Pathfinder#Landing_site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Pathfinder#Landing_site
