Saturn is a ridiculous distance away. How did they get this "video" from Saturn to here? How are they powering this supposed spacecraft? I can't believe anyone believes this obvious fakery

Cheers, Neilster

Ha. You believe that is CGI?! There is no such thing as CGI. Both computers and virtual stuff is hokum. It is just a scheme created by our leaders to pacify the people and stop us from getting any exercise. Everyone knows that moving around is bad for the health so therefore the "scientists" created something to make us sit down and be happy about it.

This is obviously hand painted!

Status: offline 		I was going to keep trolling, because it's fun, but I don't want anyone to waste their time on angry posts.

I'm actually a huge space nerd with a special interest in rocketry and robotic interplanetary spacecraft

Hang on...I think I'm picking up some signals right now...

Cheers, Neilster

Status: offline 		Orbiter is very cool (and freeware!) but I don't have time to really get into it. I enjoy what others are doing with it though. I like the "what-ifs" such as the Soviet N-1. For anyone not familiar with this, it was the Soviet Moon rocket. They tried to cut corners and it blew up all four times they tried to fly it, which is a pity as in its own way it was a very cool rocket with some advanced features.

Here's an Orbiter video of a successful Soviet Lunar mission...
