Mark Carolin did most of the development work (if not all) on that site and
Blitz (www.blitzagency.com) produced it.  I'm sure he'd be willing to talk
about how it was created.  I'm bcc'ing him on this ;)

Hi! I just saw the new website Ten Year Flash. It really looks nice. But
could someone here share what you used
for creating the Earth? How would have made the website like this:

   1. some rotating video left to right, right to left. you cant rotate
top-bottom etc.
   2. reusable zoom in, and zoom out animation using the texture from
NASA Marble project [1] using a reasonable resolution
   3. create serie of pictures that has all major countries, and some
times major cities in countries (i.e. east and west coast of north
america)
   4. creating image that adds the 'fogginess' which will blended with
the picture of 2.
   5. Some lang/lat projection system or something to show the items on
the globe.

How would you guys do it? Or more interesting would any of the creators
of the site share information?
I think I am gonna recreate this.
