Google Earth, Will Other planets be added?

I've just been Looking around Google Earth, and especially looking at Mars, and it made me think, We've got Earth,Mars and Sky and now we can even go under the Earth's seas and lakes, Do you think soon we will get the Moon or even other planets as we uncover more information about them?

You can already see the other planets on Sky. Just type the planet name in the "go to" box.

Is there a difference between Google Mars and the one you see on Google Sky?

I think so. It seems that there is Google Earth, Sky, Moon, and Mars. Google Mars shows details of the surface the same way as Google Moon.

Eventually we probably will.

To get an accurate map of a planet or moon you need to have one or more satellites orbiting taking photos of every part of the planet.

There are methods to map sections of other planets and moons as seen here:
