Thanks holmec, that made my day. Was looking for something... new!<br /><br />I think "trailer" is the right word, very cinematic. Still, nice lunar outpost construction scenes. Did they look like inflatable hab modules to you?

Those modules did not look inflatable, but solid. But looks are deceiving. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>

the art of digital movie making will probably go through a few revolutions still, before NASA gets its moon ship off the ground, if ever.<br /><br />bytheway, the video reminds me, there used to be a PC game Moonbase, back in 1999 or so. Sorta played like SimCity.<br />It would be interesting to see if someone came out with a similar title now, with near-realistic near-future development scenario: establish a moon base, NEO base, expand, build telescopes, arrange shipping lanes, assemble a mars ship, mine for metals, He3 and so on.<br />I wonder how popular game could you pull out of it. There is lots and lots of interesting ideas that could be integrated, basically everything that has been speculated and fantasized about since dawn of space age, like space elevators, solar powersats and O'Neill colonies.<br /><br />
