Not details like that, no, but they do teach you about the current world and what might change in the near future.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

In my schools those things were always discussed in subjects outside of history.

SpaceEngineer's registration date on the forum coincides with the release of 0.93. More than that I don't know.

This is practically photorealistic! It's like a real photograph of a planet! Absolutely amazing!
(Translated from sarcasm: Planet generation in SE has improved by leaps and bounds from that picture.)
EDIT: I will say that there's a certain simplicity about that picture which I find interesting.
It kind of makes me think of the evolution of someone's art skills. As a young child, you use bright colors and make simple kinds of shapes. As you get older, you start to do things neater, and add more and more detail. By the time you're an adult, you've had tons of practice, and you're making amazing works of art. I suppose this sort of metaphor could be applied to space engine itself; you could say the program's matured since then.

I used to mess around with a planet texture generator that produced worlds that looked rather like that

Indeed. The amount of progress made just since I've been following SE - from 0.94 to the impending version 0.97 - blows my mind. I think that 0.97 will make SE seem like art an order of magnitude more than any previous version. I anticipate a lot of breathtaking screenshots and other derivative works I myself plan to start populating Wikipedia's exoplanet articles with screens from SE; my earlier artist's concepts I did of exoplanets for Wikipedia I did using Celestia and GIMP, and even with using GIMP I could never even come close to what SE can do. My goal is to eventually give every exoplanet that has a Wikipedia article its own image

I can try  Also, there are only <900 confirmed exoplanets at present, and only some of them have wiki articles. But yeah, most likely I'll make about 20 and then lose my focus.

For me, Space Engine is obviously a piece of art, and SpaceEngeener an artist.
Among a lot of utility programs we can found on the web, some programes, mostly games, should be considered as pieces of art, if their purpose is to make us dream. The purpose of SE is build an entire procedural universe, and creating new things is the work of an artist.
From the beginning of SE, when it was just a "second celestia" to now, we have seen the construction of a masterpiece (SE has won the 1st place on this space programs comparison.).
I always believed that computer science is an art itself, and programs are pieces.

Hey, what a nice little planet! Let's edit it... oh... didn't expected that. 
It made my day anyway
