So, one evening I was browsing the www instead of doing any work and I'd been reading a little too much sci-fi (especially
Iain Banks) lately.
Soooo, I thought "wouldnt it be good if there were a free spaceflight simulator available for download somewhere?" so....

You can guess what came up....
Anyway, after 4 days of solid messing around in the DG and a little in the Shuttle I though, "wouldn't it be great if there
were loads of addons available for this, like there are for Flightsim? And wouldnt it be great if there was a whole community that had sprung up around this sim?"
Dear God, I never would have believed it!
Anyway, after finally managing what seems to be the 'basic proficiency' of getting into orbit, docking with the ISS and
getting back down again without getting frazzled/shot out into space/smashed to bits I decided I should start talking to
people instead of just lurking
So, here's to Orbiter!
and the end of any hopes of me getting a first for this damn degree.
