Popular conspiracy nut William Cooper talks about Project Jason in his book "Behold a Pale Horse" and how they planned this from the very beginning of the Galileo project. The probe will be crashed into Jupiter creating a new star. Look for the book at Amazon. Here's a cached version of an article - search the page for plutonium. Another link.

I used to work at Intervista which subsequently became Platinum just as Cosmo did. Platinum layed off a large number of employees on Tuesday, including former members of the Intervista and Cosmo group. They both were almost entirely gutted with only a few developers kept on to integrate what they have with other Platinum products. 3-D in the enterprise, just what everyone needs, right? Hopefully VRML won't die an untimely death as a result of Platinum's acquisition of all major VRML tool producers and then subsequently disbanding them.
3-D on the web obviously is something whose time hasn't quite arrived or else one or both of these companies would have been able to survive on their own two feet. I'm sure there's a lot of good code to be had in the source when it gets released - they were a good, smart bunch of people.
