As the videotape loop orbits around the planet and the videohead, the tape is played.
On the tape there is a recording of the outer space which is shown on a monitor. This
includes a short instance of a spaceship passing, which appears on the monitor briefly
when the respective part of the videotape passes the videohead. The video tape is a
combination of space and time and constitutes what Einstein called spacetime.
