Could you build this?
No Rendering 100,000+ real catalog stars along with seamless planetary landing, terrain generation, and 1,000,000 procedurally generated worlds in-browser requires high-performance procedural graphics and graphics shader programming.
What it would actually take: This requires advanced WebGL/WebGPU and custom GLSL/HLSL shaders, utilizing quadtree/octree Level-of-Detail (LOD) continuous terrain tessellation, GPU-driven procedural noise generation, and spatial indexing. Building a 3D browser space engine capable of atmospheric scattering and seamless orbital-to-ground transitions requires senior computer graphics and game engine engineering expertise.
