I downloaded and installed this applet, but when I run it, all I get is a very attractive picture of a satellite and the crescent earth. Nothing happens, no matter where I click, nothing happens when I press buttons - except the the exit button. And yes, I do have the Java VM installed...I run Opera Mini, for example.
