So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

Very cool addition. Although, like many such features, it has already been available (albeit perhaps not as high quality/detail) in World Wind for some time. ;D

Yea worldwind is really the way to go, recommended it back in the "My way to get stars" topic some time ago I think. COmes with Earth and most of the other planets and the Sloan sky survay.
The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

I think you'll find Google comes with a rather high-detail earth  ::)

As for the planets, they are there but I think i get some sort of graphical glitch when I try to view them, and I never had a problem with the image resolution, especially considering the distance of some of the objects.
