I take it you have a broadband connection to the internet?

The NASA quote:

"World Wind comes with data you can zoom into. After a certain point,
World Wind will begin to download more images automatically. The
servers hosting this information are very busy and may be unresponsive
until we get the necessary infrastructure."

I don't know if this is your problem tho.
