The following program demonstrates three bugs.
1) window.delete_all() seems to be broken
2) Upon reset, the earth material is missing from the sphere
3) failure of documentation to say that one should delete the scene before deleting the window
(A better structure would be to create the window and display just once, before the main loop, but nevertheless the program does show bugs in VPython.)
