The support structure is implemented using "cubes" -- each strut is composed of a single rectangular solid with only 8 vertices. Hi Selden, You might want to consider using "cubes" with a triangular section (ie. 6 vertices) for many of the finer struts on the rear of your dish. ...

Basically, I want to do a heist story - with the heist involving moon rocks.

More like the "edge of space" rather than orbit.

This is more like upper atmosphere, , don't you think?

"What goes up, must come down."

Oh boy Selden,

You're a perfectionist !!!

There are numerous conspiracy theories about the moon landing being faked in a soundstage etc, etc. Who's not seen the movie Capricorn One? (faked Mars mission) Regardless of whether you believe the theories or not, this image shows that NASA is not above a little clever fakery. Check for artifacts ...
