I found this passage in the POV manual under "DUTY CYCLE" and
non of the links have anything concerning this 6000x8000 render,
anybody know what came of it?


| While it may seem far-fetched to include a feature in POV-Ray that
| seems primarily to be of use in zero-gravity, it in fact is for
| this exact reason  it is here. On 25 April 2002, African
| entrepreneur Mark  Shuttleworth was blasted into space in a Russian
| Soyuz capsule.  Accompanying Mark on this launch was a copy of
| POV-Ray for Windows v3.5 beta 15, and a special scene written for
| the purpose by two of the word's best POV-Ray artists. Whilst on
| the International Space Station, Mark rendered a 6000x8000 pixel
| version of that scene, which we intend to make available as a
| poster. See our products page for more information on this topic.
