When people don't invite you to watch sci-fi movies/TV shows with them because you're always saying "That's a bunch of crap. Don't these people do any research before they make this stuff? That could never happen because...well, here, I have my laptop, let me show you..."


Yes sometimes I tell garyw to shut up when watching scifi - and his lectures on planes are quite impressive too.

When you don't have a Facebook account because you fear it would detract from your Orbiter-playing/O-F time.

When you do have a Facebook account, you do use it, but only to view the Orbiter-Forum fan page.

When you wonder what's this "facebook" thing, I can't find it on Orbithangar...


When you wish for...

...an MFD that will monitor your Farmville farm for signs of neglect. :p

...a plugin that will post telemetry from Orbiter to your FB wall.

I want that!!!

BTW, there's already Doodle Jump for Facebook, why don't make an Orbiter-App for Facebook? :lol:

Because it wouldn't be that popular.

....when you see a semi that goes for a company called 'STS' (Special Transportation Services) and wonder, "what would happen if I stuck a couple of SRBS to that thing."

Well, google earth looks like crap because it's a compilation of satellite images, each with different brightness, colors, etc. So not really suited for Orbiter.

When most of your knowledge of orbital mechanics, rotational dynamics etc has come from playing orbiter

So guilty! Before orbiter, I thought your weightless if you just get high enough up. And then you would just stay in space because you're in a vacuum.

Yep, I was very stupid before 2002.

before oriter I already knew a bit about Orbital-mechanics, but for some reason after all the documentarys about marsflights in future still i though te best way o f flying to mars would be to have a shzuttle a in orbit and and burn in the direction, where you see mars on sky...

that's true - in n "altitude" of 1000000000km you ARE weightless...
