Major bonus points if all that is left of your refuse at the end of the week are the heavy heat-resistant parts.

Additional points for accuracy if you can get those parts to impact in the deep end of the neighbors' swimming pool after reentry. :)

Napping in a precariously small box
...when you mark your ex-wife's house with a really big red marker (shaped like a crosshair)
...when you divorce because you paid too little attention to orbiter, and too much to your wife
...when your kid's first word is "pwobe"
...when your kid is playing orbiter at 2
...when he achieves his first rendezvous at 4
...when he acts like daddy and yells "DAMN" when he makes a minor mistake, and proceeds to slam the keyboard in rage
...when you find a second wife who is equally addicted and stay married for the rest of your life
...when you name your kids after shuttle crew
...when you become a millionaire and donate ALL your money to Martin
...when you dream about playing orbiter and going to the moon
...when you wake up and find yourself at the computer, landed on Brighton Beach.

When thanks to the wonderful history lessons Orbiter gives you (or leads to), the true meaning of the word "salut" isn't on your mind when you hear it on a French class :lol:

When you try to use Orbiter controls on the Kerbal Space Program and wonder why it's not working.

Sometimes when I think of or hear the word 'salute' I immediately get a mental image of the Salyut solar panels. Nothing else quite like them. :lol:

Who knew that God would forget to type a 3 after 'Spacecraft' in the scenario file to spawn the object of his desires without crashing the universe for the fifth time in one evening? :facepalm:
