Ever wanted to pilot the space shuttle? Well I know the next best thing you can do. Go to http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/orbit.html and download the free space simulator, Here is a bit from their web site.
"ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond
the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy
Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space
Station or take the futuristic
Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours."
A lot of work has gone into Orbiter so if you love it then help out the creator by making a donation. Thanks.
