You can try this: http://www.terraserver.com/

There is an "Imagery Date" on the left with a pulldown menu which changes at each resolution. At least you can see exactly when each image was created.

My car is in front of my exBoyfriend's house and then in front of another exBoyfriend's house a month later. You should be able to explain your presence in case anyone looks.

What specific resolution and how much are you willing to pay?

What are you trying to accomplish?

Correct. The CIA is in charge of that.

If you're looking for area swaths of weather/fire/ocean plumes and stuff like that you can check out the MODIS website (Terra and Aqua together image the entire Earth twice a day at 250m resolution):

They also have a gallery where they pick out some specific events here: http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/

I've been building a private airstrip for a few years and would like to see the progress. Google Earth had an image of the week I started cutting trees then a year later caught me out working on a broken bulldozer. There is a navigation program with the repaired dozer parked back in the field about a month later. Kinda fun to see.

Better resolution would be helpful to map the old stone walls. They are very difficult to see with Google Earth.

Not free, but you get what you pay for.

OMG... no, not at all. That's what makes it funny to me.

I don't think we sell less than a 250 km chunk and it'll cost you at least 4 digits for that. As far as I know, no satellite provider in the USA can sell a resolution better than 50cm -- one pixel is half a meter. For your application, you may want to see if you can get some aerial imaging company to set you up with the area you're interested in. It'd probably cost less and they can sell higher resolutions.

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?
