DESCRIPTION:Remember when the world was flat? Not any more.\n\nIn February\
 , 2000 NASA sent six astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on an 1
 1-day mission to gather data for the first complete three-dimensional glob
 al elevation map of our planet.\n\nThe 12 terabytes of raw radar data they
  collected has been processed into a near-global digital elevation model w
 ith 30 meter sampling and vertical accuracy exceeding all the usual standa
 rds. The elevation information is easily the most popular and frequently d
 ownloaded data set at the land processes distribution archive\, and after 
 combining with data from other missions will form the soon to be released 
 NASADem\, a single-stop-shopping source for the best (and free!) global di
 gital elevation data available.\n\nMike will describe what the Space Shutt
 le was originally intended for\, how it evolved\, and how a single good id
 ea can turn into a mission that NASA Headquarters has called the single mo
 st important accomplishment of the Space Shuttle program.\n\nCo-sponsored
