Yeah, and look at this detail: You can tell from the look of the tripod thing
that the shot is *definitely* raytraced. Someone forgot to put a more realistic
texture here.

You'd expect those morons to at least be able to map some decent starfield
background to their sky_sphere if they're raytracing the whole smash anyways...
some nice Hubble shots, pimped up for HDR, or the like.

You know you've done too much raytracing when...
.... you find evidence that the Apollo lunar landings were faked using CGI ;)
