GEB’s spanish translator, and 3D modeler, Gerardo Paz has produced his first 3D creation for the new Moon in Google Earth. Gerardo found some 3D models from the Sci Fi TV Show “Space 1999” which was set on “Moonbase Alpha“, and placed them on Google’s moon. To get started, you should start Google Earth and switch to Moon mode. Then load Gerardo’s Moonbase Alpha in 3D 
. Gerardo has created a tour of the base – just double click on the tour. You will see he has also has included nice 3D models of Alpha’s Eagle spacecraft.
Developer note: Google’s KML hint attribute currently works only for “target=sky”. An update to GE will be required to add “target=moon” and I’ve heard “target=mars” will also work. So, users currently have to switch to “Moon” manually to view KML content on the moon.
