take a look at the code for the dragon vehicle, it shows how to set up and start an animation.
K I have it spinning, it's just not spinning the right direction half the time(it alternates for some reason). I'm gonna try redoing the animation entirely to see if that fixes it.

Does it spin all the way around one way, and then back? That sounds like you didn't make it a cyclic animation (i.e., it thinks it has to rewind).
nope. it spins 180 degrees then reverses. At least the planet does. The clouds seem to do just fine.
oh my no, this is just Earth(and the Moon once I throw it in.) and it's orbital only, there's no surfaces to land on. Also it rotates.
I'm still not completely satisfied with the lighting(you can see the lights on the ground even when lit by the sun, because the sunlight simply isn't bright enough to outshine them) but I suppose it'll have to work.

Dshiznit; you may want to think about doing the invisible floor trick to unify this map with the rest of the space maps a bit. Can you fly down to the surface as it is?
How is that ruining them? If you want to build into the sky then so be it. I don't see how falling to oblivion is a good thing.

Speaking of falling forever indoor maps like KermCave should have something similar so that if you or an object gets outside of the room it doesn't fall forever.

when you're flying you either want a very visible floor or none at all
Well, you have to assume people will be building on that floor. I still stand by my decisions as it's pretty cool. Perhaps people could release versions without floors (gasp)?

That's what I was saying
I actually really like the invisible floor as a concept, I'm just saying it's good if not ALL of our space maps have them.
There will be no invisible floor on this map, end of story. There will be two groups of 4 baseplates. The Earth has a geodesic collision mesh, so you can fire nukes at it, but it doesn't line up enough to really walk on it, except for the north pole. I still need to add the moon, and get a decent skybox. Anyone know an easy way to turn a spheremap into a skybox?
