That footage looks really fake doesn't it?

I mean, I have complete faith in John Carmack but if that had come from Iran I think we would all be calling it fake.

Yes. In fact, the entire private space race is so fantastical that it all seems fake. A bunch of hackers going to space?

But its real. I love it!

People associate anything involving space flight with fake. Usually because they can't comprehend it.

It has nothing to do with comprehension it has to do with the footage looking like it was created with Maya.

It looks fine. You're just skeptical because you can't imagine it being real.
