Houses from space?
Oh, yeah, it's Google Earth.
Really cool.
Discovered it in March.
It gets boring afterwards.
But knock yourself out.

There are lots of such web sites, like yahoo maps, google maps, google earth, zillow.com and others. However you should know that the most detailed closeup pictures, the ones where you can see cars in the driveway and details like that, are all aerial photos, taken from regular airplanes and not satellites. At the highest zoom levels, the software just switches to aerial photos automatically, except in some remote areas they will simply give you a blank screen and say no images at that resolution are available for that area. While there may be military satellites that can take such detailed pictures from space, the images they take are kept secret to prevent the enemy from knowing how much detail they can see.

Not ALL houses can be seen: some parts are blurry. You might be able to see your pickup truck or SUV near your house.
