ok. i'll add some info now.
Yes this pic is posted on a website done by me, because when i cannot find a site that has the picture that I have on my harddrive I post the pic at
Yahoo Geocities.
I found this pic 1 or so years ago, i think, I found it one the web (I have no CGI Skills), but i cant find it anymore, what i do sometime when im
bores is i'll spend hours on end just digging around threw the web. So sorry, I dont remember where i got this.
I myself have studied this picture to try and varify if it is indeed real, But my conclusion would be its a 80% fake, 20% real.
OK, now about everyones favorite, The Canards. If ya look at them you will see that they look like there pointing more upward then sideways, so
possibly having 4 tailfins, except I think there are not perfectly straight, they have a outward slant to them (Which would mean the bottom of the
canard wouldn't need to be all carbon carbon.
and of course THE SHADOW, this also could go both ways, you could just say its the space shuttles shadow, or If the canards are more vertical then
horizontale, it could make it look like where the sun hit could kinda blend the canard shadow into the wing shadow. Also a quick look at it makes you
think that the wings "go out" quicker to the tip, but closer and you see that the wing could be gradualy outward by the black part right before the
wing, whick then with the sun at the right spot could make it look like that.
As for the bottom, someone said, that it looks like the grey was airbrushed on. Maybe, unlike the space shuttle, it doen't use those stupid ceramic
tiles. It could have a certain type of paint that gets applied everytime before it goes to space.
I'm not trying to sound like i'm defending this picture, but I just want people to be a little more open minded. and again, i didn't make it nor
do I remember where I got it.
(completely unrelated - later i'll post a aurora pic i have, and i dont remember where i got it either, so dont ask.)
