Hi,

:lol: Some functions of Celestia can make also with VRML - Has somebody experience with so much coordinates-point in a wrl-File?

Bye

I think that most VRML implementations use single precision arithmetic throughout, so creating a scale model of the solar system isn't possible, and travelling from star to star is out of the question. I don't think that you could write a very satisfactory space simulation with VRML.
