This is a short story about texture quality from orbit. (Sherhat runs into the room) The Director: Lt. Sherhat. Welcome. Sit down, and explain why you are here. Sherhat: Sir, there is no time for sitting! You are aware of the Deep Space Photography Project, yes? The Director: I'd like to think I am. Sherhat: Well, it took this image! The Director: Ah. Space is beautiful, isn't it? I remember signing up to Space Camp as a young kerb, and now I'm managing Queen Dehzu's Official Space Program. When did you- Sherhat: Look closely! Can you see how poor the image is? The Director: Oh. So it is. That's a shame, maybe it's a problem with the telescope's lens? Sherhat: I wish it were like that Sir. I really do... The Director: What are you on to? Sherhat: Now look at this image, taken from Viewport 1A of the Destiny Station. Sherhat: Can you see now? This is distorted as well, isn't it? The Director: It is... Sherhat: I could show you a thousand images! If you look closely, they re all distorted! I could take a picture of the grass and tarmac outside! Close up, it would be blurry! (They go outside) Sherhat (Inspecting the grass): Look at this! The Director (Also inspecting the grass): Dear Kod... It is... With my own eyes... Sherhat: Do you know what this means? Sherhat: We are in a simulation!
