Description
Into the Great Unknown
The USS Independence breaks the bonds of earth as it heads out into our solar system; destination Mars! The moon passes by as if to say farewell to the crew on its 5 months journey to the red planet. The ship is in full afterburner in preparation for Trans-Mars Injection. This image was created in Bryce5, postwork done in Universe, Photoshop, ImageReady and PhotoImpact. I may be posting a different image of this soon, I

You know BamBam, you should try Orbiter. Building spaceships is one thing, actually flying those missions is a different kettle of fish
http://www.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/~martins/orbit/orbit.html Beware, this simulator has a learning curve that goes straight up, but it is o so satisfying when you reach orbit for the first time or when you successfully park you ship in orbit around the moon.
Awesome, feels like I'm in space :-) Yea, the moon seems slightly blurry.
I'd make a more rich background,and adjust the proportions (or the alignment) of spaceship,planet and moon for a more dramatic effect(maybe spaceship on the foreground between planet and moon) Still,it's very good work.
Impressive scale, David!
Amazing looking moon. Great sense of magnitude.
