Maybe I'm dead inside, but maybe the people who are "sad" about this are overreacting.

No offense to any of my friends, and especially not to Bruce, who has the right to feel melancholy about this, if anybody does.

Me, I don't care very much. The shuttle has been a UPS truck for the ISS for years now; it stopped being interesting when the Hubble telescope was fixed.

With nothing in the works to replace it, we allow ourselves to be anchored to a rock circling a star. Maybe I've read too much science fiction but we need to be looking/exploring beyond our world. Not with fly-bys and robotics but with eyes, hands and feet on the ground.

Just an FYI, we have a shuttle tire used on one of the shuttles sitting in our showroom. I'm a manager at a tire/auto shop. One day a dad wanted one of his kids to touch it and be able to say that he had touched something that had been in space.

Hey Leo, thanks for pointing me towards Rise of Flight. Really good game!


I am very glad you like it!

IMHO their marketing approach is fantastic - you get fully functional sim with 1 flyable plane for each side, on-line and campaign for free - if you "hook up" you then buy additional planes!


BTW, there is another old gem out there as well (a bit outdated graphics but no other sim can place hundreads of aircraft in the air and it has great unpredictable AI):

"Battle of Britain II: Wings of Victory" - the community made patches for it (latest one if 6 months old)!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain_II:_Wings_of_Victory

It was based on Rowan's Battle of Britain sim.

Yesterday it was so hot that wife and I decided to be lazy and watch TV...

We saw 1st season (10 episodes) of "Lark Rise to Candleford" BBC series - very nice indeed!
