Binary Death Spiral

So far people have been complimentary about our animation. Thanks. One of the comments we get the most is that people want to be able to read all the text that pops up in the animation. We appreciate that too, I think it means people are interested in what's going on.

The good thing is that all the text is real, it all says something. Like in the launch scene, all the text boxes that pop up next to the rocket are real specifications for a titan II rocket with two stages, and a capsule payload. But for the most part the text isn't supposed to be legible.

There are a few parts where it might be beneficial to read the text. For instance, when the boy robot is in space, he writes some poems that he sends to the girl robot. Each poem is supposed to be inspired by the cosmological images he observes. And each of those images has been digitally painted by us in photoshop.

Here is the quasar he sees, and the dorky poem associated with it, presented as a desktop in two formats:
