Space Video of the Day - 071022

Today's space video of the day is unlike anything I've posted before. Alien Irwin productions is putting together an animated film, using marionettes such as the ones in Thunderbirds or Team America: World Police, but with human mouths overlayed upon the marionette's mouths. Today's video is a demo clip from the movie, Spacescape. The action is set in Earth orbit, in and around the first space hotel. Much of the technology shown in the video is very well thought out, and borrowed from serious space development projects. For instance, the hotel is built out of expended space shuttle external tanks, using orbital maneuvering vehicles. The craft used by the hero while in space is a Lockheed-Martin X33. Th story is pretty good too; this demo was put together in the hopes of securing enough funds to make a feature film, or at least further episodes.
