What would be the purpose of that? It is probably less entertaining and
useful than yet another toy feature which is Google lunar satellite maps.
With maps of the moon, you might play for a minute once in your life. For
reversing of the viewpoint (seeing other side of the globe), you would add
yet another option/widget, which adds to clutter. It might be pressed just
once by the user, if ever. You can probably do this using simple geography
on a flat map.
