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.

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?

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).

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...

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 the World of 2001 v3.11 addon. You must have that addon installed and its required accompanying addons prior to installing this one. Unzip the addon...

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.

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?

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?

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...

Here's a Remembrance Day song that was sent to me:

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...

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...

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...

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...

Yep, my choice. Open Office is still free too (for a while at least, who knows what will happen with the Sun Microsystems acquisition). Of the various flavours available, my preference if for OxygenOffice.

Ah yes. The joys of yet another addition to the modern boys' toys. Keep it simple. I use a simple two piece pressure boiler (thank you Italia). I have a similar smaller unit that I take with me on camping trips. Goes to show you can take civilization with you. Tamping is necessary, as...

This experience is very similar to what made me despise English Literature classes in secondary school. In Grade 10, my Literature instructor was an ex-United Church minister who insisted on teaching a Modern Lit class out of the Christian bible. That brought about my first official rebellion...

What is the criteria for "Banned" books. Banned almost universally, or just in a small jurisdiction? Banned by a legitimate court/government or just by a religious group? My vote: "The Coming of the Cosmic Christ" by Matthew Fox. For those that don't know, I believe Matthew Fox is a Roman...

Any word yet on what caused the "safing" just prior to closest approach and if there will be any adverse impact on the mission?
