Especially the travelling to other planets thing, as you need the internet for that.

Nah, that's not right is it? While you can populate your universe with creatures designed by other people downloaded from the Internet, you don't need it for the space travel, do you? I'm sure you can populate the galaxies yourself.
It's not an online game in the traditional sense. If you bomb a world to oblivion, you don't affect another player's game, as that'd be dramatically unfair once you gain the UFO.
Anyway, it looks completely fabulous. Trust Will Wright to devise a fantastic idea and take the world by storm. Hopefully this one can entertain people for a long time, though. SimEarth was a kickass idea, but failed to have any longevity, but perhaps that's only because it had very little personality, whereas The Sims was almost nothing but.
