Description

Eagle 3 takes a close slingshot pass around a gas giant in a last ditch effort to save fuel, gain speed, and catch a rapidly departing Luna.

There's always the story... and the REAL story. I like this ringed planet model. I like this Eagle model. So I had to mash 'em, together and see what came out. That's all :D

In the book "Neutron Star" by Larry Niven (I believe), there is a story (that I loved) about a space ship that was transparent. It was built to be able to withstand the gravitational forces within a black hole and pass through it. Although your ship is not transparent and the title of your picture has nothing to do with black holes, that is the very first thing that I thought of when I saw it.
I haven't thought of that story in a LONG time.
I like your picture very much. Very well done.
