I did watch through the entire video. You start out with a single celled creature and get up to galactic interaction with alien species. I do like how they've done the galaxy - one of my pet peeves with many of the space games is that the galaxy/universe is usually so tiny and uninteresting. Of course, from a gameplay point of view, "large" can also be a problem, so it is tricky.

I got a kick out of the Star Trek and Star Wars inspired bits.
Well, if anyone can do it, it's Will Wright(Simcity, the Sims, etc.).

If there are any ideas you have, you really should e-mail him, he usually answers people within a day. I sent him a question about whether asteroids will be in the game, and if they might be able to hit planets, and he said it is a possibility!

Seriously, e-mail him, we might be able to get some more good astronomy into the mainstream common knowledge!
