[»] Nice app.

Very nice proggie. Though Earth doesn't seem to
have any texture on it. Other than that it's
quite nice!

Try reducing the size of your window. There seems to be a bug with the Earth surface map when enlarging the window beyond the default size.

(PS: I'll handly reporting this bug.)
