Could you build this?

Partial The 3D globe and UI are buildable with libraries like CesiumJS, but aggregating live flights, ships, satellites, and tens of thousands of cameras depends on feeds that are costly, rate-limited, or hard to obtain.

What it would actually take: Use CesiumJS or a similar globe engine with open sources such as ADS-B feeds, CelesTrak TLEs, and weather APIs. The hard parts are licensing and sourcing AIS ship data, live camera feeds at scale, and live TV streams, plus keeping them all running. This takes data-licensing deals, ingestion infrastructure, and caching.
