Does anyone have Nasa World Wind and is it a good program?

I do and it is not half as good as Google Earth.  World Wind is Slow and does not have all the world mapping features that the Google one does.

NASA launched the STEREO shuttle at the end of last month to gather data on the sun. I watched the entire count down and lift off. It was very educational. That baby flew at speeds exceeding 10000 meters per second. They had some weather problems and the launch got held back about 20 minutes, but when it launched it was really worth it. The next launch is on December 7th and I highly reccomend watching it. Its better than most of the crap on television!

Earth Centered Universe.\nI have learned a lot by using this software.  It is a planetarium program of the stars viewed from Earth.  It is very easy to manipulate the program, changing direction and zoom, and moving forward or backward in time.  In doing so you learn why things work the way they do, and where and when objects will be in the sky.\nThe website is http://www.nova-astro.com/ \nand there is a Yahoo Group where you can talk to other users and even the maker of the program at\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/ecusers/

I have found this software for your computer to be very accurate and precise.  It's called W.O.W. which stands for World of Wisdom. http://www.world-of-wisdom.com/  I have tested many different Astrology related pieces of software and have come to the conclusion that this one is the most user friendly, easiest to use, and the most accurate and reliable in my experience.

Here are some sites/links that may interest you.  I assume you are a pilot and know what these maps represents. (Past, current, forecast) \n\nThese are the type of maps I used for my pilot weather briefing days.\n\nPast winds aloft mainly using satellite estimated wind speed and direction. (This first link - winds are streamlines)\n\nhttp://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/eastpac/winds/winds-dlm.html\n\nNext two links (need to zoom in)\n\nNCEP (4-Panel included) 200 mb, 250 mb, 300 mb, (Not on the label, but also include) 500mb, 700mb, and 850 mb winds.\n\nRegular single map - \n\nhttp://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/epac/nam/00/model_m.shtml\n\nhttp://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/npac/gfs/00/model_lu.shtml\n\n850 maps\n\nhttp://wwwt.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/mmbpll/opsnam/nam.npac.850wind_animate.html#picture\n\nPlease use with caution as computer model forecast winds can have higher error rate over the ocean due to lack of measured sounding data and few ship and low level pilot weather report data available.  \n\nHope this is what you are looking for.

Well at myself opinion, i believe its not a safe program, but lot of people like it, above you will find the link where you can download it.\nLimeWire is safer and easier to use, try it too.\n\nGreetings from Mexico :P

This is far better though.  Plug yourself into NASA.\n\nWatch hurricanes as they happen.\n\nhttp://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/

I am running Vista Beta2, and are very satisfied with the whole consept. I would recommend it for all. The biggest change that is the security issues,which you may change. The desktop is great!

To run diagnostics on your computer it is great, but I wouldnt download the programs they suggest and offer. Yes it is a legitimate sight, I have personally run the test on my computer and have never had any oproblems.

I like Bit Tornado just because it is simple and seems to go faster then the others I have tried. Takes a little setting up if you have a firewall. Thats just me though......

yeah its a great idea for kids to experiment with wind. More studying of the earth the more we can advance ourselves and who knows your child could come up with something truly amazing. Afterall we shouldn't discount childrens' research.

I wonder do you mean the Google Earth program that you download to view satelite pictures of the earth which you can zoom in on.  Yes the program is safe to download but you need an up-to-date computer to run it. The link to that site is below.

I would say that at this time Google Earth is pretty much as good as it gets.  It is an amazing program.  Any other program would probably utilize the same satellite imagery.
