It makes as much sense as Star Trek/Star Wars/Spaceballs, etc.

I suppose in reality you'd never see a laser hitting your ship, your hull
would just begin to melt.

I used a bitmap made by Driard Universe.  I made it look a bit more
cluttered than the night sky at sea level - figuring that there would be
more stars visible than there are here.  As to how many more - I'm just
guessing.

I would make some dust clouds, but when I added the "iso-roids' the thing
started taking days to render.  Maybe I can paint some clouds on in
Photoimpact.
