    neat Sci-Fi Stuff

    a free space simulation software for download renders nice....and has some interesting add ons

    This is a Space Simulator that uses real physics for a baseline! There are tons of add-ons for it, and it is FREE!
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Question

    What's your personal take on them?

    I just want to know before I put this in my PC.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    Celestia, a great training aid for me and my son. However it gets old after an hour or two. It has some spectacular graphics.

    As for the Orbital Simulator, I've never got it to work on my computer. Internal security keeps it form running proper (no I'm not going to turn off the security features, that task is a royal pain in the back side).

    Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?
    The same thing that happens to everything else.
