I'm Bernhard.

I like Star Trek, Star Wars, Kerbal Space Program, model rockets, space ships, model air planes, interplanetary transport network (IPN).

I'd love to build space ships and an earth to space launch system, but that's probably just a dream. Something like a mass driver lifted with balloons to 30 km.

I think it would be great if we pulled one or more (jovian?) asteroid with the IPN to medium earth orbit and use it as construction material, fuel radiation shield. IPN transit times go into thousands of years, though.

I came here while searching for a Linux version of orbiter. I voted in the 'Orbiter port to Linux' thread/poll ( http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=7396 ) and when I wanted to add a post the board told me necroposts are bad (the thread is from 2009). I thought of making a new thread with the same topic, but that appeared even more wrong. I couldn't find a forum to discuss this problem, so I'm taking it to my introductory thread instead of violating the rules with my first post.

I don't use Windows and I will not buy (or pirate) it for ideological and financial reasons.

Maybe if the source for orbiter was open (not necessarily free), someone would port it. I'd pay 0.1 btc for it.

New Orbiter Beta versions work quite well in WINE under Linux. The first thing I usually do when a new beta is released is testing it on Linux, before ever launching it on Windows. You only need to install in the WINE prefix VC++ runtimes, and optionally DirectX for D3D9Client.
 
Welcome to the forum! Space and rocket junkies are always welcome.
