I just downloaded Orbiter last week, and I've been playing with it non-stop. I've always been a huge astro-geek, but this really puts the complexity of space flight into perspective. It took me hours to finally get the procedures down for my first flight to the moon, even with NASA data for trans-lunar injection. My next project is replicating the Apollo 11 mission, but I have to learn how to use the Apollo Guidance Computer.
For those of you that haven't heard of Orbiter, it's a space flight simulator. There's a futuristic jet that's capable of space flight to use for training (or inter-planetary flight, because of it's fuel efficiency), and a replica of space shuttle Atlantis. There are so many extra mods online, though, like the Saturn V with AGC that I mentioned above. The physics of flight and the accuracy of the ships is absolutely astounding. I encourage any other astro-geeks to check it out.
