lol... stupid me, i get easily distracted by shiney new betas
Oki oki, tonite promise i'll skin the rocket properly - oh and might slice open it into section models, so that Hubdule can actually have it break apart if he wants
Hey ya know when you gave me the model i did some research on the space missions, particularly Apollo 10-14 ...
I gotta say I don't believe they ever got MAN into space.
I'm sure they got the rockets tothe moon and such, but i've noticed so many very very poor mistakes in the film retouches its untrue. I think the biggest clue to this is the fact that to enable the pilots in the main landing capsule they had just enough space for 32kb Ram on a 4Mhz bus system computer.
Now i'm sorry but i have trouble getting my 286 with 4Mb Ram in C to perform the nessary calculations for the moon 1/6th gravity in realtime, and not enough memory to store the possible flight path and calculations withoutrelying on a Hard Disk Drive which would have never survived the LiftOff Shock (not those old ones anyways) and you need Approx. 52Mb of space - as HDD were heavy, bulky an such I don't think they'd of had the Room.
I mean I guess its possible even with the 15% sucess chance, but to have 3/4 missions actually complete it - that just beats the odds... no one is that lucki
This with the fact that there seems to be alot of unknown origin Artificial lighting in the pictures, we're talkin' there is one shot where i'd say for the Flag, Moon Lander and Buggy to have shadows like that and have the shadow lite up, they'd of needed a 15ft high flood light which was around 20ft SouthWest of the Shuttle perpendicular to Earth.
Also for saying it was "realtime" transmission, they had the earth rise during the mission - which technically when they shot it would have been almost 16hours before it did that, plus which they didn't have the air for!
(^_^) pitty, i'd love to see the all happen again and this time in realtime ... but as NASA has noted it wouldn't be possible until 2010, doesn't that say something to you?
I know they have the international space station to deal with but thier official comment was that it was not technologically possible! ... yet it was 25years ago??
Did i miss something there??
This isn't to say they didn't ofcourse, just that I don't believe they did it now. I'm sorry but for liars they pretty poor at it. They need to hire GamerX on thier staff to pull of something like that again!
