mars, mozilla, and cult3D

I just visited this very cool site, Interactive Presentation - Mission to Mars, which prompted me to install a plugin to view some 3-D content. I clicked "OK" and was taken to the Cult3D site where the plugin was seamlessly installed using XPInstall.

Firebird's new XPInstall integration with the download manager made the whole experience even better and for the first time ever, I said to myself, "Wow, that was a pleasant and seamless plugin experience."

Unfortunately, they don't seem to support Linux Mozilla/Firebird. Well, it's a start.

If you installed the plugin and want to see some more "space" content, check out NASA's Space Interferometry Mission demo, 3-D view of a black hole, and extra-solar planet demo, CNN's shuttle model, and Hubble in 3-D, and Reuter's Mir demo.
