That'd be awesome if parallel machines could one day handle enough information to make a program where you can see the earth on your screen and rotate it any way you like, as well as zoom in or out anywhere (to the maximum scale the machine allows).

] View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the
] Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in
] successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak
] tree just outside the buildings of the National High
] Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After
] that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a
] microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell
] nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic
] universe of electrons and protons.

Really puts the size of outer AND inner space into perspective!
