    Cool World Wide Telescope

    http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/

    I've downloaded and even without a direct connection to the internet (ports are blocked, but the download only took seconds) it looks like a really cool program.

    From it we can plan the Orgah's expansion into space and counter act the Zombie-Squids from Outer Space.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Is this a case of Microsoft's Google-envy?

    This is clearly software related (<-- screenshots included).

    A very neat program indeed; though a few more planetary objects, like Saturn, Enceladus, Titan etc.., should be included.

    Well, viewing the Earth is just a small portion of this program.
