It gives you the same sort of view as compared to the video clip, with desired control. However, there is a trade-off between the emotion and knowledge gained. This tool may not give you the exact feeling when you zoom out of milky way, however adds extra info to your "portal". Loved the opening video.

Can't believe you of all people just saw Contact... Fearing the moview wouldn't come up to the expectations engendered by the book didn't stop you from watching all those other adaptations, right?

In either case the enterprise of knowledge is essential for the welfare of the human species." - Sagan, Broca's Brain (amazing book, go read it now if you haven't already!) “My deeply held belief is that if a god of anything like the traditional sort exists, our curiosity and intelligence were provided by such a god…on the other hand if such a god does not exist then our curiosity and intelligence are the essential tools for survival.
