I had been thinking along these lines...

For clouds I used an image of the Earth's cloudscape. Looks more natural, 
but... not entirely satisfying .

The spaceship is a mesh I have been building on and off in Silo2 over the 
last several years.

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.
