You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

[jedimaster1214]

Hadley-Rille from Apollo 15?

DING DING DING!! yep
Apollo's 15 and 12 are my favorite missions, and that is just after P64 pitchover at Hadley-Rille

The other most detailed one is a CSM in lunar orbit.
It has a quote from the HBO miniseries episode "Is that all there there is?", which tells the story of Apollo 12 from the point of view of LMP Al Bean, and is (IMO) the best episode of the series..

Thanks! Beautiful rendering, by the way :thumbup:. I sketch similar things in Physics when we review momentum for the nth time...

 

[Columbia42]

Great sketches! My favorite episode of the series is "Spider" about building the LM. I saw that one and realized that I wanted to be an aerospace engineer when I grew up.

you're reading the Edgar Allen Poe poem "The Raven" and you think of the XR2 Ravenstar.

(he normally uses PowerPoint to teach).

That's called "Death by PowerPoint" and is usually a sign of a bad teacher.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

A good teacher uses powerpoint to accent the lecture and provide additional info, not all of the lecture.

 

[T.Neo]

"Death by PowerPoint"?

Sounds like the most common failure mode for spacecraft designed by NASA. :dry:

:rofl: too true. Although that applies for any large-scale engineering project...

An good teacher teaches you things, in the way they best know how, as opposed to presenting the material. Some of my teachers seem to think of themselves as regurgitators. :facepalm:

Also, I saw a minivan with a Thule roof box attached on top, which reminded me of the space shuttle orbiter attached to the fuel tank.

The type was called Atlantis 1800. And it had a NASA sticker on it.

Couldn't resist...

I have to say, the pictures look strikingly similar. :thumbup:

 

[Napalm42]

....When you spend hours completing missions even after several CTDs.

 

[PeriapsisPrograde]

....When you spend hours completing missions even after several CTDs.

When you create a plugin that imediately respawns Orbiter after a CTD.

 

[mojoey]

i suggested we have a space related quiz (first man on the moon, first in space Etc. Etc.) in history the other day... i swear, im dealing with idiots in that class

 

[OrbiterSpore]

...When you have spent at least 800 hours of flight.
...When you see Orbiter in everything. (Mostly guilty)
...When you PUT Orbiter in everything. (1% Guilty, because of this. )

- When your evenings end like this :

:rofl:

 

[mojoey]

taught my cousin to say 'thank probe you gave me something good' at halloween. He is going to be a devout probe follower in a year's time

Hey! I've still got a screenshot of the last time they...

Ahem. Sorry. I know it's not addiction, it's weirdness.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Yeah, again today.
Please while you wait...
