Exploring space - a tour through the Solar System

All right, let's get down to bussiness. As I saw this a little "empty", I decided to do something different, a little tour... sure, all of us go and fly to many locations around the planet in FS2002... well, I decided to do a little trip on my own, leave Earth and check what was interesting to see! Here's what I found, I hope you like it! I got the idea after checking a book I found hiding somewhere around here, "Cosmos", by Carl Sagan. Anyway, I sent my own space probe, which is propelled by only gravity (free fuel!), to see what could it photograph. Enjoy!

Earth, our home planet. From here we depart on a voyage to explore the planets of our Solar System. We will skip the inner planets, Mercury and Venus, since going through them will prevent us from traveling inside out. Plus, they are not very interesting to look at: Mercury has its surface all scorched from being so close to the Sun and Venus is covered by methane clouds, so you can't see anything through anyway.
