This weekend I went to Mercury and Venus for the first time.
I went to Saturn for the first time too, but in this trip I passed through rings C or D at 29 km/sec whoch would have
killed me. If I had planned it as a real trip, I probably would be dead. So Orbiter saved my life.

Same with me but it was different.
Instead of a seemingly real threat of death within an imaginary flight, it was from a death of imagination within a very real life.

Now I know that if I travel to Saturn I better make a planetary approach with polar orbit.
It may not be as cool as passing through the rings, but it is realistically safe.

I'm sure I've died hundreds of times if I did everything I did in orbiter in real life. Nobody told me space was so
dangerous when I wanted to be an astroNUT!:eek: First thing I did when I tried orbiter out for the first time was
accidently jettison boosters and tank of Atlantis while on the pad trying to figure out how to launch without reading a
manual! A fiery end in real life it would be :hot:.

I tried to reenter Earth at a 90 degree AoA and I accidently opened the canopy of the DGIV....so orbiter saved my life
too :)

I hit the T key and I burned as I approached to Venus.
If I had had such a time warp jump in real life I would be dead.
Fortunately real life has no T key.

I wish there were a 'T' key in real life though....

If you manage getting close to the speed of light you can get an equal result. Or getting close to a blackhole or
maybe a neutron star.
