A bit repetitive, but everything that you've done works perfectly as far as I can tell. Also, there appears to be no way to lose or win.

Really liked the presentation: the sound and graphics. Especially the sound, which put me in mind of an old arcade game, or chiptunes.
Unfortunately, not having anything to fight against means that one tires of this quickly.
This was a good idea, and with a little polish I could see this being really fun- a few more surprises like roaming enemies for example, or the ability to interact with multiple planets at once? Also, putting together a web version will probably get you more votes for next time.
With that in mind, you might consider the free Java hosting I offer at http://StaticVoidGames.com. It has automatic support for LWJGL!
It's a good start to a game. I suggest continuing with the game and add enemies, perhaps multiple ships to control as your armada gets bigger, and planetary defense that you must combat and employ on your invaded planets.
Also, the game does need to work on speed issues with the actions, because everything did feel like it dragged on.
