i want them for viewing in m jpeg viewer as it does not support dds(i use arcsoft photostudio 2000)

Why not just download the jpegs at the Blue Marble site?
Here's one

Anonymous,
Then I sugest you mail NASA at the proper email adress they hae listed and make a request and get in line like the rest of us. I to want the big textures but we have to wait for them to answer back.
Good Luck.

You didn't really say what you wanted, unfortunately.
"Visible Earth" is a NASA website including a lot of general Earth imagery. "Blue Marble" refers to all the whole-earth composite maps - from the big master map all the way down to the smaller jpegs.

the part about the dds files would have said what i wanted

If you want them just to look at, there is a thread that discusses an open-source blue-marble viewer, which can be downloaded with the entire (extremely large) data set, maximum 40Kx20K resolution. I have it, and it runs OK for a little while and then locks up, but before it locks up it looks _amazing_.
