I think it's awesome! But I have to format my PC first before starting any new games. Windows Vista hasn't not been performing well on my machine, go linux very soon! :D

Here is something you guys might be interested in. A space simulator game. The most accurate and realistic of its kind. It was developed by a British physicist. I have been playing it for years now, even when it had crappy graphics (unlike now, the graphics are amazing) Its called orbiter. http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/

This game is free!!!!!!
I remember coming across Orbiter back in 2002. I had a friend who was very into it (along with flight sims in general). It was pretty swish even then. I didn't realise it is a UCL creation.

Btw, are the sys requirements correct? They seem a touch out of date (perhaps its the screenshots giving the illusion of this requiring better specs than are actually necessary).

Blondes or Brunetts or Redheads, or Blondes and Brunetts and Redheads?

Preferably girls, younger than me (about ½ my age), lighter than me (about ½ my weight), and hopefully, not much smarter than me (smarter is preferred over dumber though).

Yes!!! Those are all the specs you need. The graphics are only perfect on screenshots. They are still quite nice, but I would say 2002 quality graphics tops.

Very fun game, it took me weeks to learn how to fly to the moon and then weeks to do it. Oh man I remember how many times I failed to dock with the Command module. ;)

He's referring to the belief by many people that the moon landing's were a hoax. To me this is up with the belief that the universe is 6,500 years old, or the earth is flat. Still, all of these beliefs are kept alive by some folks.


Let's have some in space. :D

By the way, anyone encountered people recently claiming fake mission :eek:? It's quite annoying. :cool:

The space station could have taken pictures of the moon, they also
had hubble to take some good views.I can't beleive that all the video was lost of the moon
mission.That what we are missing some guys are from the space mission
project. No I don't think they would give up Ip,you guys are not top secret.The Gov
could track any ones Ip,so we are alone out here,I wonder what they use.
There are systems that we don't have access to,more broad band.
