Horizon

Something occurs to me about how things are going to look out the bridge windows of a Traveller ship doing a fuel skim on a gas giant:

The horizon is going to go flat a long time before you're low enough to really see details at the same resolution as the same horizon here on our little rock.

This will definitely become a "trust your instruments" item during flight instruction.

All of your visual cues will be wrong.
