    Mars Bases from the beginning 2019-06-25

    This is a Google Earth Pro compilation of all Mars Bases that I could find since the beginning of Orbiter Space Flight Simulator. It is a .kmz file which you can open in Google Earth. When this was on the forums there were no adverse comments so, as usual, any errors found are mine.

    Updates NASA New Horizons Mission Updates

    Of course, I'm still around here, 80mileshigh. I've been following almost every minute and image. This is as exciting as watching John Young fly over New Brunswick in Gemini when I was a kid. Fascinating how each major body in the system has its own unique characteristics, isn't it?

    Humor Favourite type of dog

    What we have now is a Bassett Hound. My son's dog, actually. If I were to get a dog for me alone, today, it would probably be a Lab, chocolate,from one of the Belgian bloodlines (better intelligence for field trials).

    Orion3 RCAFArrow Repaint revised 2015-02-19

    The first attempt to upload this addon included an incorrect zipfile (too many levels deep). This revision supplies the correct installation zipfile. This addon is an OrionII and OrionIII repaint in an RCAF pattern similar to the paint scheme of the CF-105 Arrow.  This repaint is intended for...

    It's Been A Long Time

    Welcome back. I suppose some of us who have been around since almost the beginning do drift in and out. The sheer joy of accomplishment that is Orbiter keeps drawing us back. It is the challenge.

    Smily on Robotic Arm?

    Probably news to most people. Too amateurish for an "official" logo. It also lacks the artistry of a good tagger. Probably done in a weak moment by either an engineer or one of the ground crew ... hell, we can't be serious all the time, can we?

    Updates LRO/LCROSS News and Updates

    Yeah, just ask Aldrin. :lol: I wonder what happened to those who said that they wouldn't believe it wasn't a hoax until they saw pictures of the flag on the moon? Oh well, mustn't let facts get in the way ... do they?

    Remembrance Day is coming ...

    I know that different nations have different days for honouring those who have given the ultimate sacrifice ... or may be about to. It does not matter the country, whether volunteer or conscript, victor or vanquished, friend or foe. All deserve that two minutes. Many songs of remembrance have...

    Photo buffs: Looking for s/w for Fuji S1 Pro

    This request might run askance of the forum rules but I hope not. I recently took possession of a Fuji Finepix S1 Pro (from my late father's estate), but the CDROM did not come with it. The current drivers I have. What I am looking for is the camera shooting program. I have searched, but...

    Science New Scientist article on "Clever Fools"

    Maybe experience helps, too, not just IQ ... I was well under Urwumpe's limitation. Also helps to RTFQ ... thoroughly. Hey, SiberianTiger ... I wonder if anybody else here took the Marshmallow test? Try this article to help explain why most people might have missed the questions...

    Question Who likes espresso? Got any tips on making it?

    Before you invest in any of the semi-automatic or automatic espresso boiler/steamers that are available (and often at exorbitant cost) you might want to try out the stovetop devices that agentgonzo and I were discussing. These are commonly called Moka pots (or their variants such as Bialetti...

    Question Who likes espresso? Got any tips on making it?

    Ah ... remember what I said I was using. Like everything else, every device is different. It takes trial and experience to find what works for you. There is also the joy of discovery in achieving an acceptable product. As for the camping, whether espresso or anything else, there is nothing...
