They are indeed, but the soundtrack could be better.

That was my favorite one too. Probably because it is basically Outer Wilds in real life.

It looks fake. Turns out what looks real is shaped by experience in Earth atmosphere at Earth scale with Earth gravity. Those 70s and 80s sci-fi movies with close ups of plaster models turn out to have gotten it right. Even things like the earth panning behind the completely motionless ship looks like a bad composite job, because nothing is ever that motionless except a static image.
