Version: World Wind 1.3.4
Pros: WOW.. It has spectacular graphics. This program has a lot of potential but, alas, I am not a engineer. I hope NASA continues to
make this more average user friendly.
Cons: Hard to pinpoint specific locations and the areas I was able to get to were not clear.
I was not able to see my own home clearly.
For now I'll stay with Google Earth

Version: World Wind 1.3.4
"Google Earth is better, but if you like exploring planets, this program may help"
Pros: Well, the fact that you can explore several different planets like the Moon, Mars... Also the new 3D features that are better that Google Earth's. Good quality program and is recommended if you're into that space stuff.
Cons: You can only see certain parts of the world clear, such as Tampa, Florida. Also, there are many useless features, still though, good product.
