Those are just UX elements -- indeed, no satellite other than maaaaaybe the ISS could be seen here. For one thing, anything in LEO would seem to be moving so darn fast that it'd be disorienting. I imagine there's various similar problems -- Saturn's rings not having the exact right pattern, asteroids not matching their real shape, all the planets being perfect spheres, etc. But I think this resoundingly meets the bar for "a view of the Solar System". Maps and territories and all that, y'know? A quick sketch in a textbook can also be a "a view" while containing far less detail. | ||||||||

> For one thing, anything in LEO would seem to be moving so darn fast that it'd be disorienting. They take ~90 minutes to orbit - it's not that quick. The satellites are actually moving at the right speed. | ||||||||
