There's Orbiter.NET, but I don't know the status of this project, you should contact Face about that: http://sourceforge.net/projects/orbiterdotnet/ Cheers Tschachim

I don't know anything about compatibility, but I'd advocate Scilab because it's free. For what it's worth, Irnenginer, one of the Project Apollo - NASSP guys is using Scilab for state vector calculations etc., but he didn't try to do an interface to Orbiter yet...

Well, that's interesting indeed, Jeff Hanley, now the Constellation program manager, said something different last month (and all the time before that): http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=14773.45 As there's an ongoing discussion whether the ESAS was "dishonest" about the...

Thanks, that did it. Let's see if it can be converted in Orbiter's mesh format... Cheers Tschachim

I downloaded http://www.buran.ru/3d/3D_Max/be.zip, but the zip file needs a password. As I can't read Russian at all, does the page say anything about a zip file password? Cheers Tschachim

Great job, Alain and Luis, thanks a lot! :speakcool: Cheers Tschachim

Thanks for the links, but it looks like my English isn't good enough to understand the difference between "...I don't support..." and "...will not find my support...", also I can't imagine what "non-explicit sex-ed" might be, both articles quote Gov. Palin: Cheers Tschachim

As I'm not from the USA I need to apologize for my lack of knowledge, but I wasn't able to find any source that her position about sex-ed is a "myth" or has been disproven, I only found articles like this: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5711359&page=1 Can anyone enlighten me here...

Just a small side note, as usual the first conspiracy theories about Haider's death already popped up, first and foremost by the infamous German crackpot Gerhard Wisnewski (only in German, sorry), of course it was no accident, but he was murdered by You-Know-Who...

Yes, that's from a Katie Couric interview linked above: ...and to answer the original question of this thread: I personally don't care about the gender of Gov. Palin, but I've no idea about how the US people think about that? Cheers Tschachim

Ar81 might be referring to the seemingly now-infamous Katie Couric interviews: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/25/eveningnews/main4479062.shtml

Yes, The Washington Post pointed out here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/interactives/campaign08/debates/?hpid=topnews, that Sen. Biden's statement: is probably wrong, at least they claim that Sen. Obama didn't say that: There might be more errors as I'm still reading the news...

Ahh, that reminds me of the government in my country... :lol: Well, in this case I think it largely depends on how much the government is going to pay for the mortgage-backed securities to the institutions and how much money is going to be used to keep the individual mortgage borrowers alive...

OK, looks like I don't really understand the bailout plan. Does that mean the government does not want to give the 700 B$ to the institutions (for nothing), just to save their existence, but the government buys (all? most of?) the mortgage-backed securities from them to the _current_ value...

Yes, the lack of systems engineering (or understanding of complex systems in general) in the financial (and political) world is a really bad thing IMHO... Once more showing my lack of knowledge about US politics but why it is necessary to bail out these institutions (and not for example the...

Ah, OK, I'm not sure if the argument is circular, but I don't think the USA will end as a third world country any time soon. But perhaps if Mrs. Palin gets President and replaces education and science with some ancient Christian tribal rituals (just kidding)...

Sorry for the dumb question, but where do you see a circular argument?

I wasn't referring to the current situation but to the article GregBurch posted about the Clinton administration. Cheers Tschachim

Well, higher risk = higher mortgage rates. I think it's fine if the government wants to subsidize private home ownership, but it shouldn't do that by ignoring such basic rules (or force banks/investment companies to do so). By the way, does anyone have some insight if the US will implement...

Provided that I understand you correctly, the investors/banks aren't able to analyse the risk (and thus the performance) of their investment anymore, so they just "wait and see". It's my opinion, too, but for me that means they changed their job, they are no investment bankers anymore, they're...
