I thought this app was pretty amazing. I watched the landing all the way down with this and NASA TV going. I didn't even notice it had opened a non-browser application until after the landing. But I'm confused - the About dialog is just a Unity Player dialog. Can Unity be compiled to Java? Was it just Java long enough to launch something else?
It appears to have created an actual Mac app for itself at ~/.explorer.local/explorer/explorer-mac/explorer-mac.app, though it doesn't do anything but fail to connect if I run it from outside the browser.) I'm a little annoyed that I clicked through whatever dialog allowed it to do that, or that there wasn't one (I did allow Java to be installed, I guess it was the first time it's come up since I upgraded to ML, but my assumption is that next time a Java thing wants to do the same thing this app did, I won't know about it, or else won't even remember the dialog that warned me about it later)
