I have a cat named Leo (named after LEO) but I call him Beo because BEO is much more interesting than LEO. :thumbup:

BTW, what is it with the ponies? I seem to have missed something...

When I saw Delta G (as in change in free energy in a cell) in biology i instantaneously thought of Delta V.

When I start to learn Russian on my own so I actually understand 50% of the things I hear in Orbiter.

I'm OK with unicorns. I am also (grudgingly) OK with MLP, since it's not going away any time soon.

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when you spend the majority of your weekend developing more projects you may or may not ever finish...

(That's the plan, anyway)
 
In reference to:
...when most of your doodles in your notebooks are orbiter/space related. (I might post some pics of mine later, i think they're really good....:P)

I'm posting my detailed orbiter/space related doodles here. Other people say they look really good (even though they have no idea what i'm drawing; "LM wha? PDI what? huh??" etc... :P)

Docking to the LM:

Liftoff of the LM:

Soyuz-LOK & LK Lander undocking in lunar orbit:

Some GPC MFD overlays used in the Space Shuttle:

A Shuttle liftoff:

A Mid-Course Correction on the way to the moon:

Post MECO separation of a Mercury-Redstone rocket.

And here are (IMO) the best ones of the lot. I've devoted more time and ink on these two than the past few.. :P

To the last picture: I guess it's the view at the moon surface from a the cockpit of a LM.

Guilty. So. Freaking. Guilty.

Looking out of the Mission Commander's window on the LEM during the hectic last minute of descent on Apollo 11, as Neil Armstrong realizes that the LZ is full of hazards...:P
 
I made a deal with my Modern World History teacher that in the next semester, when we are learning about the Cold War and the Space Race, I will add Orbiter screenshots to his PowerPoint presentations (he normally uses PowerPoint to teach).
