Could you build this?
Partial Basic cube-sphere terrain and an atmosphere shader can be vibe-coded in Godot, but double-precision planet-scale rendering with real DEM data and physically based atmosphere needs graphics expertise.
What it would actually take: Build as a Godot 4 GDExtension or C++ module with cube-sphere quadtree LOD, clipmaps, floating-origin or double-precision handling, DEM tile streaming, and a precomputed atmospheric scattering model. The hard parts are numerical precision, seam-free LOD, and performance at planetary scale. A real version needs graphics or rendering engineering experience and profiling time.
