But there's something I really like about the "flying forward in space" picture here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fedorasky.jpg (Yes, the logo is unwanted, understood!) :-) I do like the idea of the stars providing that element of light that we've used in other backgrounds. And it seems dynamic with all that motion, although I worry that maybe it's *too* much motion. Could this be combined in any meaningful way with rocket trails? ("No" is an acceptable answer, you guys are the artists.) :-) -- Paul W.
