This would be cool if I could actually scroll down to move sideways. My mouse's side scrolling is terrible and dragging the scroll bar skips a lot. :(

also, if you hold down shift and scroll it should scroll horizontal

It would be a bit more fun if I could read the comments without having to scroll. After ten minutes of scrolling to reach Jupiter, and being about 1/4 of the way through the solar system, I could not keep scrolling. I got the concept and was not ready to invest another half hour.

Grab the scroll bar?
The right arrow key worked best for me.
Google Chrome on Windows allows horizontal scroll with shift key+scroll wheel.
