it's kind of like google earth, but for the solar system.

you can also add other stuff to it like galaxies and star wars spaceships.

:)

sounds interesting

ill have to try it sometime

BTW in case you dont know, google earth has a flight simulator built in, i cant remember what buttons you have to press to access it though.......

Looks pretty cool...
though to be honest, I don't really feel the need to look at Mars.... ever :p

P.S. I believe the buttons for the flight simulator are CTRL+ALT+A

REALLY??? i didnt know that, AWESOME!!!

i've seen this type of thing before... im not sure if it was the same one or different but it was cool none the less

didnt they say the new google earth was gonna have the stars and crap in it too?

yeah - i downloaded it - i like it - don't know how much i'm going to use it, but it's cool to zip around the solar system and i like that it can be updated by everyone who uses it.

I love astronomy. :)
