Pretty amazing. Even the folks up in the windows are identifiable when zoomed way in. And you can tell what types of cameras the crowd is using as the brand it readable in their hands.
There is one part (maybe more) down near the bottom right of the image where you can see some overlap of the same person where different images were used to create this. AWESOME!!!!
Around 10 years ago, I was on a military base on the Kuwait/Iraq border. I was shown a demonstration of the satellite technology being used at the time. I was shown a pic of the Humber Bridge from space. The number plate of a truck on it was just about readable on when zoomed in!
This kind of technology is now new, but it is still impressive!

Here's a 272 billion pixel image: http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/66626
This is the best I've managed, just 340 million pixels and not as sharp as it should be (no tripod): http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/56733
