control-g shows your progress toward science victory.
When the # in upper-right >= 60% (and you have 10+ controllers and 10+ sattelites), the bar at the top starts flashing. When you hit it, it starts a ten-turn countdown. At the end of the ten turns, the Gaia Controller fires up and you win.

Your problem may simply be that you haven't "launched" yet.

Radius of Obselisks depend of # of sattelites. Have 17+ sattelites for best radius (8).

Note: Obselisks can be built in sea, and in allied territory.

Don't feel bad: I read posts assiduously for a couple weeks before I finally figured all this out. Activision didn't bother explaining any of this -- the manual sucketh big time!

what do the 60% represent? 60% of the world map covered? what exactly increases that number? how far you can "spread out" the obelisks (to cover the most area)?
sorry if this is a stupid question,
Activision should have explained it in the Great Library or at least in the manual.

This was, to say the least, extremely helpful. Thanks a million.

One question though. How did you know what Ctrl-G did?

"CTRL-g" is printed on the back cover of the CTP II manual listing keyboard shortcut keys.

Like everyone else, I was trying to figure out the science victory. Just for added info, in my game I built 37 satellites and 46 obelisks (on a large map) and still only got an effective radius of 8 from the obelisks. I trtied building more than 10 controllers but the game only recognizes the first 10 and the extras don't seem to help. You can put obelisks, just as with any other public work, in any ALLIED territory as well as your own. I "discovered" that late in the game, and would have been helpful building my road networks seeing as I had 2 Allies.
