A sci-fi tail to promote the Rosetta mission?

very What SF novel can't they bring to life, with CGI like that?

Edit: Aristoi comes to mind. IIRC that was inspired by Zelazny's Isle of the Dead.

Sandow eventually became a telepath and "worldscaper". Worldscapers have the ability to create and/or terraform planets. The process of becoming a worldscaper culminates in a mystic rite called Naming that binds the mortal to one of the gods in the Pei'an pantheon, and it is believed that the worldscaper is actually acting as an avatar for the god.
