That is really cool! I wonder if you could do that with a regular camera and merging many images together.

It would be possible but having an automated camera to take the images would make it a lot easier. If you try and do it manually there's a good chance that you will miss a spot and have a gap in the panorama.

That is indeed awesome! Shame that the space program is not as supported by the current government, but there are a few private companies that have things in the pipeline. Should take a few years though.
