Here's some visually impressive Second Life machinima seamlessly combining virtual footage and in-world effects with clips from various movies and TV footage:
Created by Erythro Asimov (who also shot this great one last year), it's inspired by NASA's call to register your name on the first flight to Mars, which he and fellow SLer Shannon Cardalines jumped on:
"When I saw the NASA Registration for Orion's Flight," Asimov tells me, "I submitted both of our names for fun." So while their avatar names are eventually going to Mars, their actual avatars already get to visit the red planet via machinima. (Shot on the famed Insilico sim, by the way.)

Visit InSilico Mars and have a look to wonderful work Stark Osterham made there

"The skies over Baghdad have been illuminated" what the...? I don't understand what that quote would have to do with a mission to Mars...

You are right, it has nothing to do with Mars.
I just borrowed CNN soundbite "Go There"
That is all ;)
