hmm... maybe you could take a look at "Go play in space", which can be found here: http://www.amcsorley.dsl.pipex.com/play_in_space.htm It's a bit outdated, but it should give you a good general overview of how stuff works. The tutorial australopithecus linked looks great too. Other than that...

Hmm, Pinkie Keen... I have to say I didn't like the episode at first. The letter in the end (which is supposed to contain the "moral lesson" of the episode) seemed anviliciously anti-sceptic, especially the last sentence: Then again the producers (was it Faust herself? I think it was) said that...

Conflicts between different religious groups have been occuring for... probably since religion existed. Open worldwide war between the religious and the non-religious? Unlikely, I think. And if it happens, at least Earths religious leaders have no telekinetic powers. And remember that in a...

I do. I often call bird dinosaurs, because that's what they are.

I felt this thread needed a picture of a cat for it to be complete:

Still, did Cain and Abel (I can never remember who was the bad one) sleep with their mother or with each other to produce the next generation?

Very interesting read indeed, thanks a lot for the link.

Re: Debate Discussion Thread for: "Evidence supports creatio ...the hell? Yes, I think he does deny it.

Are you using the Transfer MFD? If so, I think you need to set the reference to 'sun', when planning an interplanetary transfer, since it is the body both you an the target planet are orbiting (source would then be Earth, since you have the same orbit as Earth, at least until you do the orbit...

Awww... :( . Seriously, I only did it for a school project to show some of the most basic orbital maneuvers during the flight to somewhere interesting (at least more interesting than Luna). Still, it,´s the furthest I,´ve travelled from Earth yet (not that I,´ve tried going any further).

Yay! Succesful landing on Titan :) . Did come dangerously close to Saturn,´s rings, but luckily they have no collision model.

Flying to the moon in Orbiter isn,´t really that hard using the 'align planes' and the 'transfer' MFD. First align your inclination with the moon, then in the transfer program press HTO and adjust Dv and Time of ejection until the transfer works for you. when you reach the moon, do a retrograde...

I don,´t think you can call that a form of international "police". Basically it is other countries intervening, after the UN gave their ok to go ahead. The way I understood Pandawa,´s analogy he thinks "ordinary" people (countries) shouldn,´t intervene when there is trouble elsewhere, but should...

There is this little problem with your argument that there is no such thing as international law, much less an international police force. Other than that I think I better stay out of this argument, my views on the concept of nations would be too distracting from the actual discussion.

Ohh, be careful when linking to tvtropes, you,´ll just get more people hooked. OI topic: what a load of crap...

I know that, but I wanted to do it properly to add some challenge to it, and after all, it,´s a simulator, why play it when you plan on 'exploiting' missing realism-features :) . I actually made it on my first attempt, but there was panic and swearing involved. And some frantic course...
