Description "Get me the **** out of here!"
_____________________________________________

Heres a space manip as promised .... I seriously wonder whether such a thing is even possible in real life? (Planets being so close for collision) Either way, I'd hate to be that astronaut.

The stock is actually a real picture of Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin walking on the lunar surface; yes that rather iconic one.

If you care to read on, heres a rather interesting and unknown story of the astronaut Neil Armstrong. ;D

........................................

On July 20, 1969, commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon, "That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind", were televised to Earth and heard by millions. But just before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark:

"Good luck, Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

In 1938 when he was a kid in a small Midwest town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball, which landed in his neighbor’s yard by the bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

To answer your question... such a scenario is rather improbable in real life as large, massive bodies tend to break up into much smaller pieces a certain distance (known as the Roche limit) from another even larger, more massive object, due to stronger or weaker gravitational attractions on different parts of the colliding planet. It could happen though, if the planet were more fluid (less breakable) or possessed loads of kinetic energy which would offset the influence of gravity.

Politics aside, this is an excellent manip, you have brought out the lighting remarkably well. You're also a very fast worker Definitely a fave.
