I did a few cut-and-paste jobs with Home Plate put into (hopefully!) well-known surroundings. Helps me understand the scale of the place better...

Thanks Dilo, but one question. Are we comparing the thickness of the smog or the size of Homeplate and the hills??

Hey Oersty. This is tres cool! Now Reeshard can buy a ticket to see it, the Pope can bless it, and W. can protect it from Al Q*eda! laugh.gif

Now do Piccadilly Circus for our English friends, Balmoral Castle for Jolly Jock, put it under Sydney Harbour Bridge for Astro0, and in Ultreya for Ustrax!

Yeah... ...I was always sorry they never got to do that launch from Gusev AFB.

At least we now know what SLC-6 will look like in a gazillion years!
