Yea, I guess Vegas would not be as fun if it could not be seen from outer space. On the same note, pictures from space show that the sea of Cortez is dieing because no water from the Colorado flows into it anymore. Like anything else, if anything was attempted to do something about it, it would appear to be a plot to take away your guns etc etc etc... We have really trashed our country in the last 50 years. Its not about the drought, the Colorado has survived those since creation... chances are, it won't survive us however.
