The first priority is to finish fixing bugs in 1.5.0 and release it.
After that, spending two years to rewrite Celestia is the wrong approach. I think that everyone is better served by more frequent and incremental releases. Say that you want a small new feature in Celestia that doesn't make it into 1.5.0--do you really want to have to wait two years to get a version of Celestia that incorporates it?

Chris,
Your recent change that improves the rendering of the comets tail is great:
Moreover, the FPS seems to be not affected at all by this improvment.

I STILL think that we oughtta just leave the poor guy alone and let him work
at his own pace. I mean, this is a FREEWARE program that I would have
paid up to 500 bucks for... And still would, for that matter.
Again, THANKS Chris for ALL of your efforts here. You probably don't hear
it enough, but I - for one - am VERY grateful for this fantastic software.
Can't be said enough. Period!
