I don't think you know how this works. Google (or microsoft
terraserver, or any other mapping site like these) has absolutely
nothing to do with actually taking the images. The images are sourced
from NASA, the USGS, Commissioned aerial photography for urban
planning, etc. All google, etc, does is license these images to use.
They don't take them.
