I love that DC mod. My friends and even one of my boss played it! Remember Galactic Conquest mod for BF1942? That was fun too.

Also this week, Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo crash-landed killing one of the pilots.

Privately or publicly funded, this is inherently risky work.

~~ EXTRA GALACTIC ALIEN CONCEPT ~~

So... if Star Wars is all about action, adventure, chivalry, pirate movies and swashbuckling, WTF is up with the prequels?

Lucas forgot about all that and thought, "You know what this series needs is some galactic C-Span, whiny teenagers, overly contrived plots, and cutesey CGI comic-relief characters. Oh and don't forget a double-dose of nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (because Luke didn't sell it enough in Empire)."

Look for E.T. as well as Superman and Supergirl among others in the background during the galactic senate.

Since I don't really drink I guess I'll have to go with the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

Yea the Galactic Empire is just a corporation too, deciding what planets to destroy and shit, "suing" other guys who wish to not be apart of them.

Yeah, it struck me as pretty, but I was under the impression that the orbital plane was pretty close to the galactic plane so it would look more like the first model they showed, just adding that the sun itself was orbiting another object... Sort of like if you wanted to watch the moon in an animation like this you wouldn't show the Earth and the moon looking like a comet, but trace the Earth's orbit and show the moon's orbit around the sun. The orbital plane and galactic planes may not line up exactly but close enough I would think to offset the model presented in the video. Pretty though.
How galaxies get their spiral pattern: http://videosift.com/video/Spiral-Galaxies-Sixty-Symbols

Ya, there is a group using this visualization to show that "gravity is a lie" so your spidey sense is right on the money. When you get down to it, the motion around the center of the galaxy is inconsequential, the orbit of the planets around the sun would be the same. And the gay spiral bs at the end, well, that is not taking into account the motion of the galaxy through deep space, making the the pattern of our motion through space just look like an oscillating mess, not a spiral. Not to mention we might get ejected when Andromeda smashes into us. In the end, all the mass in our solar system was created with angular momentum around the galactic core, and internally, the system was embedded with angular momentum around the sun.

It's the same principal as the Virgin Galactic Spaceship 2 and White Knight. Rather than the cargo hold, it's the spaceship portion.
