lowpoly-earth, the buildings are not real

Xander's post says a low-poly Earth in the browser, with real terrain, real cities from OpenStreetMap, live weather, and the real sun. Walk, drive a Ferrari, or fly a stealth jet. Open source, no API keys. The code license is MIT. The readme says no API keys and no backend. Terrain comes from AWS tiles. Satellite imagery is Sentinel-2 under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, non-commercial use only. Weather is Open-Meteo, free for non-commercial use. Buildings are extruded footprints with generated facades, not the real ones. Roads are painted on the ground. The stealth jet and the Ferrari model are in the readme. The post says real cities. The buildings are not the real buildings. This page did not fly the jet.
