Good work. Graphics look good and I love the hypnotic background music.
I can offer a few constructive remarks:
The loading time is good (from the moment I start the app until the rotating earth animation starts) but its always bad to have the screen go black while loading even if for only two seconds - I always prefer a loading animation or image more than the black "is it stuck" screen.
The opening screen with the rotating earth reminded me of the model from a book by Smithwick et al. called "pro opengl es for android" which focuses on a solar system model, Your work surpasses the models in the book in most aspects but they did get the light/material properties right.(Not worth buying the book for someone at your level) , I guess its something about the reflected light from the ocean seems better there (boost the shininess?). Last thing, The user interaction is not so intuitive and hard to understand what's going on.
Over all-
You Totally Rock!
