I like it. If you could use a macro to create a new earth, global warming
shouldn't be a problem anymore....

My first impression was that the sea was a bit metalic though, but that can be
just me (once you see something it's hard to see it different afterwards...)

I don't know. The finish only contains diffuse, specular, and roughness. I 
suppose it is the color.

That is one of POV's prerogatives; but names always come out of the blue, 
imposing themselves.

Oh yes! Although they will have some hard bones to crack ;-)

It is humanoids against all the scum of the universe (cf the Lensman Series) 
:-)

I shall never understand all the excitement about discovering exoplanets... 
;-)

The Galactic Archives at Trantor contain the information about all the 
(habitable) planets in the galaxy. This is for instance Kartoffel.

(no, I shall not bring here the entire content of the archives...)

It was, during a short period of time of climate manipulation, like Jime 
suggests. And just when the probe was taken...
