Improve branding of application #30

Closed emxsys closed 6 years ago

emxsys commented 7 years ago

The name "World Wind Explorer" can be misconstrued as an app for exploring the world's winds. It's not readily apparent in this context that "World Wind" is a NASA organization. The application/project should be rebranded such that the organization and name are distinguishable. Ideas:

Also, include credits to third party open-source projects in the README.

How about just calling it Earth Explorer?

Note: this effort does not imply that the "NASA World Wind" SDK's need rebranding.

NASA Earth Explorer (so as to distinguish between the USGS Earth Explorer) looks to be applicable and not in use.
