This movie shows the design and operating mode of LISA. You will see the launch of three spacecraft with a Delta rocket, separation, orbit deployment, initiation of the laser beams as well as some detailed views inside the LISA satellites.

triple radio telescope, so that it can take 3-d pics in XRAY, ULTRAVIOLET, INFRARED, & etc... idea that should have been expounded on a long time ago...
At 5 million km from eachother that should allow us to peek around the corners of far off planets and stars.

I like how it shows all the stars rushing by as the laser moves... like they are really that far apart...

I can't wait for this thing to be built. It's going to blow the hubble away. But of course 99% of people won't even give a crap and will still be consumed by the most trivial things here on earth.

I don't think the distance is to allow us to look around things. The distance increases resolution. Much like how the diameter of a telescope lens determines the reolution it can see. The massive distance between these telescopes will give us resolution way beyond anything we have now.
