There are several strong candidates for web-based globe visualisation many of which provide visulaisations of fetailed geography, data or weather systems. For the Hitchhikers.earth projec our primary needs are somewhat different,t we focus on creating a visual front end to life, the universe and everything.
That is we need a globe that can help us navigate and put stories and scientific data (hard science fiction), in context. As such it needs to be ubiquitous, which implies light-weight and mobile freindly. We need a pragmatic visual front end to federated wiki pages, that is allows us to navigate and interact with time and space.

On this page I explore a project to create a key timeline animation for the Hitchhikers Project. The aim is to crete an iconic identity or logo for the project, that functions as an interactive interface for Hitchhiker Time Travel.
