Interesting to see how far we have become in knowledge of outer space and rendering capabilities as can be seen in more recent videos such as ▶ this video
I am guessing you have liked this too - ▶ this video Being a video it is not interactive, but definitely does strike something in me. It's almost the Total Perspective Vortex.
Seriously, it amazed me everything. You see everything life, from he mesh that holds the very matter to the limits of the universe; and you can control the hole this, with a Flash slider. Reminds me of the "Known Universe video from AMNH" So eye opening: ▶ this video
Check out this video from the American Museum of Natural History: ▶ this video - It makes me think that we cannot be the only society in the universe - But it also makes be think that it is unlikely that we will find them in the near future or vice versa
