SpaceEngine - a free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.

when I play, it looks nothing like the screenshots.
how do you zoom into planets and stuff and see the oceans?
You simply fly the camera down to the planet and land on it, and fly around to see what you want. Use the WASDRF keys to move the camera, and the mouse wheel to change the speed.
but the camera doesn't just "fly down" where I want it to because I can't aim with the mouse.
when I get closer to planets, the view turns to the right so I have to awkwardly press A to scroll the planet across so I can kind of see the land from almost a parallel angle.
Very bad controls if you ask me. I might as well play universe sandbox.
What do you mean you can't aim with the mouse? You point the camera wherever you want by holding the left mouse button and dragging the mouse, like with many 3D programs. That, combined with the typical WASD keys for moving the camera should make control relatively easy. Anyway, most of the controls can be customized in the control menu, in case you don't like the defaults.
Dude, just read the manual.
right click and press land on
Seriously? You sound computer illiterate, no offense.
Yes, go play Universe Sandbox, while people who're interested in a real universe simulator get to use this (with extremely obvious and intuitive controls).
oh yea baby
going to test it
Holy makral... this is. This is... wow
Is download really from 2010? Is there any newer? What is going on guys?!
sorry misread the released 2010 as the upload date. please carry on.
the new update is good but make sure you save before making starships or you might crash and might have to re-download the game
Why would you have to re-download anything? If for some reason ships cause a crash for you, simply open the spacecrafts.cfg file and delete everything from it, or just remove the file entirely. This will clear all ships. And if the program crashes, it loads back up at the last place you exited from before, so whatever ship you made which caused the crash won't exist.
Anyway, there's no reason why ships themselves should cause any crashes, and I've never heard of anyone having crashes because of ships (except you, I suppose).

ummm..How did you made this? Does it download Data from internet during running? or you have made this all ?
It doesn't download any data to run. It is all generated by the program using procedural generation. It is amazing what modern computing can do, isn't it? :)
one of my favorite games...
The game is really too good, really good, thanks.
lets go test it omg
Superb
