Google Maps 'street view' of world's tallest peaks

Google Maps now allows users to take 'street view' of world's tallest peaks - NY Daily News

The snowy top of Mount Elbrus, which at 18,510 feet, is the highest peak in Europe.

Dan Fredinburg, a technical program manager for Google and avid mountaineer, lead the Google Mountain Enthusiast team up each summit, which included Aconcagua in South America (22,841 feet), Mount Elbrus in Europe (18,510 feet), Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa (19,341 feet) and Everest South Base Camp in Asia (17,598 feet) in 18 months.

Next view: Moon.
Moon is already on Google Maps: ("Google Moon"),
just need to add "street view". Can Google make this "Moon Shot"?

Even Mars is on Google Maps...
