20 years is a long time.

I remember making a post on the 9th or 10th anniversary. Doesn't feel that long ago.

Here's to another 20.

Anyone heard from the Doc ?

There hasn't been a sighting in a while.

He's allowed to live his life. And sometimes even when we want nothing more than to work on our hobbies, other things take presidence. I just hope he's okay.

Precedence, not presidence. I still believe Orbiter is more than just a hobbyist's simulator. European Space Agency used Orbiter (2010!) to simulate the launch and landing of Soyuz (they used their own computer animation for ISS docking and undocking though).
