Footage of space travel, well over 150000 feet. And yes, you can easily control the craft. This video was made for those of you who want to see what the earth looks like from space in FSX.

The Pioneer missions, carried out by NASA Ames Research Center, in the sixties and seventies, was a grand set of probes that ventured ever farther and higher in Earths space environment and even out to Venus and into the outer planets. In 1967 proposals were requested for the first investigations of the gas giants. After many ideas, NASA tasked Ames with the job, requesting they fabricate and build a spacecraft using proven technology from previous Pioneer Spacecraft, to travel to Jupiter. Later, when gravity assists were evaluated, this Spacecraft would be tasked with slinging on to Saturn after the Jovian encounter (barring failure due to known Jovian radiation belts, at this point, unmeasured, untested). TRW and its Redondo Beach California Plant was tasked with assembly of the vehicles that were first known as Pioneers F and G. This new craft had to be very very light, because available, cost effective, lift capacity could only be found in the Atlas Centaur Space Launch vehicle, at the time very limited in Jovian throw capacity. Light meant simple, and these spacecraft were not wonders of computer wizardry as Voyager and Viking would become later. Advanced sequencing with automatic program operations could not be carried out, so the Spacecraft relied on individual commands for each operation, and the JPL controller team would have to learn to send scripted sequences all on a tight schedule preempting time delays in the Outer Solar System. As for instruments, these …
