And I'm not in love with how the continents are not foreshortened as
they approach the horizon.
One of the US TV news departments made a rotating globe graphic for the
first Space Shuttle flight (or something similar), and may still be
using it. It turned the 'wrong' way because it represented the world as
seen from low orbit -- and was changed when they got tired of explaining
that.
