Dear Noel,
I think NASA's misinterpretation is accidental in that it does show
Penzance, but they would have been wiser to have said Cornwall! As to strip mining, I
think this shows a slight lack of geographical knowledge of the area on
NASA's behalf, since, as we all know in GB, whilst china clay 'mining' is in 'a
way' strip mining it isn't - if you get my gnrl. drift. Hope you don't think I
am being pedantic... not intended!
Regards, Bernard
