Thank you Bill! Yes, I should have posted a new thread indeed. Just being 
lazy :-)
Yes, that umbilical came to my mind  when Arthur C. Clarke died. A tiny, 
extrapolated, reference to The Fountains of Paradise.

Yes, I used your excellent technique. The sphere contains also the media for 
the atmosphere. In addition, I used a light_group containing the ship and a 
white sun, the ship supposedly being located outside of the atmosphere, 
while the rest of the scene is lighted by a reddish morning/evening sun at 
the same location.
