...for the rest of us, there's always Celestia (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/) to cover the rest of the universe (the data that ships with it is of varying quality, but there are terrific Moon and Mars textures available for download elsewhere, and I've been adapting Steve Albers' Cassini-based, frequently-updated Saturn moon maps (http://laps.fsl.noaa.gov/albers/sos/sos.html) with some success).
People like to daydream about turning Celestia into a Google Earth-like networked app, but it would be hard to retrofit it at this point without a massive re-engineering. Google Universe would be a nice thing.
