Moon landing animation?

want to create a moon landing animation for my project(lame I know but I suck at Alice)really want to make it look good, any tips for doing so? I plan on startin tonight or sunday night. I want to have it start off in a earth background with the shuttle lifting off, then the next scene shows it landing on the moon with a man coming out. I hate being one of those people who asks for help but these forums have been the more helpful one I ever joined

hmm...
I am not the best at these things(because i learnt alice by myself)

key points
Try your best
make a plan code(write it down)
break it in to sections.
Timing and speed.
Persevere.

hope it goes well -room14

I'll research it, and give you any help I can. If you want, I can even make a basic template for you to use.

well to start off with, you want to start off at Earth, so you would want to just set up a setting of what you want earthe being depicted as(two main ways i see of doing this is using the globe model in the object list that is in the local lgallery of items, or you could do the set up of using the grass template with a shuttle lifting up off the ground, use "move" up to make it look likes its going up, then ect..) just set the opacity to zero for stuff you don't want seen at a certain time and have it set to 1 when you want it seen, and add the objects as appropiate to make it look like it is traveling through space.

If you want to add a little science fiction to the animation, I have a model of a UFO.

heres my crappy attempt at something, as you can see I have everything all over the place
