Already beaten! Looks like just a mars thing at the mo'. Poor lens flare effect. I've seen that ISS model someplace else. I could start to write a list...blah blah.

I wish that there was something I could do, but the exclamation points that I need for coding Celestia were all used up in the title of this topic. *sigh*

For the moment, all I have seen, in some movies because their software are not available, are low resolution textures of the moon, Earth, Mars with few stars in the sky and some glass lens effects.
But no galaxies, no nebulae, no saturn rings and so and...
The main interest seems to be their use of the elevation datas to display raised maps as GoogleEarth does.
Wait and see
To be continued...

I will save as a bookmark and check back later. Overall I was unimpressed. Seemed mostly vapor ware. Wishing them luck.

They do provide source code for their software, so calling it "vaporware" seems a bit harsh.
