>Also -- what's happening to science when more and more articles seem to have CGI artists renditions instead of pictures of the real thing I'm sorry for joining the pile-on but why do you believe this is "new"? Artists interpretations and renderings have been the norm for space media since before NASA. It makes sense, since it's so hard to get the film crew out to Jupiter, and the craft all folded up on it's launch platform is usually less interesting to normal people than seeing the instrument as it will be in space >but as a skeptic... It's getting harder to tell real programs... working warp drive Skeptic? I promise you that everything put onto a rocket is real. Keep in mind that every single project anyone has ever had to get funding for will inevitably have a CGI rendering or artists interpretation because you need something to put on the first powerpoint slide when you pitch it to the funding board. This is not limited to NASA
