Yes, Orbiter is a very cool program. Even just kicking a ship into some
sort of low orbit and watching the world roll by underneath is really
amazing.

And thank you, I know I'm evil. I recommend distracting simulations, and
I
even hold public opinions on countries I'm not a citizen of. (I am, of
course, the only person on this list to *ever* do so.)

Enjoy the sim - you obviously didn't really need to work after all. <g>
