Yes indeed! I like the new WMS server for the Blue Marble NG. I especially like the fact the images have been time stamped and that you can do a time animation of the different months of Blue Marbles. It even works well when zoomed in close (after you've given time for each month to load). Very cool!

I do see some weird anomalies when zoomed out to full globe views - where some of the images fail to load (get black areas).

I do wish the images were a bit brighter with stronger color saturation. But, otherwise this is a great move in the right direction.

The only other thing would be to use the <region> tags to cause the image to fade out when you zoom in close so you can see Google's normal images.
