This is amazing. I know nothing about Space Physics, but I am an engineering student so I hope my math background is enough to understand this. Very famous NASA people in these lectures. Enjoy.
The longest I have ever gone is only 24 hours. I do this, and then the next day I drop dead at about 3pm and alarm clocks have no effect on me. In Engineering school you don't sleep a lot. I would rather not sleep because I'm trying to land on Mars, than because I'm solving some complex integral...
We can add a flying Lada to Orbiter. Just imagine. :lol:

I actually think its pretty cool. Okay so its not as realistic as Orbiter, but it will get kids and people who are less technically inclined interested in space. Then after they get tired of its arcade like atmosphere, they might try Orbiter. Its a good thing. Personally I'm going to try it.
Are you a fellow Electrical Engineer? I never had to make anything that complicated, but I can give it a shot. I will fire up Matlab later. Here is something to try for now.
This will create a square impulse from 0 to 5. You can change it to move it to the locations in your plot.
n = -5 : 1...
I'm sure most of us here have either plastic models or posters or authentic moon rocks. ;) So show your stuff. I even want to see your epic gaming systems which you use to play orbiter. Anything. Show it. The probe commands you. :hailprobe:
Here is my stuff.
This is my Saturn-V model and...
Dr. Martin never ceases to amaze me. I was absent from the community for 3 months, I come back and Orbiter 2010 came out. Wow. He doesn't have to do what he does you know, he doesn't get a cent for it. Its art for art's sake.
LOL crappy flat in Moscow. Or a crappy flat in Kiev. But the new apartments in Obolon arnt so bad. http://ukraine.t-p-i.net/images/Obolon.JPG
Anyway well yea, 200k is a little much. When it gets to around 50k I won't even hesitate. But this is the opportunity of a lifetime. So few people get to...
Have people seen this yet?

I thought the whole thing died after spaceship one. Apparently it didn't. Wow $200,000. Now even us engineers can go to space.
I must go someday. :woohoo:
The real question to...
