GreyKnight Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Have you guys tried the free Orbiter sim? http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/orbit.html Hardcore, but well worth the effort just getting your ship in to a stable orbit, and then docking with the ISS was the pinnacle for me. Give it a shot. Quote

DD_Arthur Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I see they have a picture of Uranus on their site. Ah, what a treat for everyone Quote
Enforcer57 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 You carbon based bipeds are impressed so easily......er, uh, I mean, that's neat. Seriously, when I was 15, I got a nice telescope and spent hrs using htat thing. I won't ever forget the first time I saw saturn. Nothing like the above, but it looked a bright yellow oval with two holes in it, until I got my perspective right. I freaked out. I still have that thing someplace. Quote
