Those shots are fantastic! Still cant get my head around 1 light year,  let alone millions from one end of a nebular to another @.@    Another space sim is this one> http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/
You can go for a tour of the planets, watch eclipses, even go back and watch Haleys comet fly by.

Then if you feel adventureous, why not take the shuttle for a spin.  Launch from Canaveral, through the atmosphere, jettison all SRB and main tank, do a repair on hubble, establish a geo-stationary orbit, prepare for re entry, re enter(manualy ()) and wait for the sonic booms, then land.

Cant be that hard , can it?

Bit of a long vid, but its pretty cool>>
