It appears that the EarthExplorer Java applet uses the orignal Java security model, which means it won't run with Java2 VMs like the one that is available for Mozilla/Netscape 6+, and the web site admins know it (see attached HTML error page; added <head> tag, <base> tag and commented out extra </html> tag in the document). Still, it would be nice if they could find some U.S. tax dollars to upgrade the Java applet to a more recent VM. Found this through a Slashdot article about Cold War spy pictures being declassified.
