It shouldn't take more than 50-100 well-trained Brazilians. Also, there are some other toys on WFIRST including imaging equipment. Dark energy sound interesting to me. I'll chip in my $2.50 in taxes.

Perhaps not such a surprise for NASA. This potential mission sounds like more than just Hubble 2.0. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/

BMS4 is free update to Falcon 4 released last year. It is more stable and less buggy than FF5. Also: good: -higher fidelity systems modeling incl. data cartridge -improved flight model -mostly better graphics - beautiful F-16 cockpit, HD post processing effects -updates bad: -fewer flyable...

Okay. Could it possibly be the crusty drivers from Lenovo? The latest posted version is Sept. 2010. I also attempted to install the Intel generic driver from circa Nov. 2011 but the installer wouldn't allow it due to proprietary code requirements on the machine. I will be changing domiciles...

Apologies for the ambiguity. I have installed the update two times for good measure. Still the crash persists.

@astrosammy - Thank you for the advice. My GPU being on-board AFAIK there isn't even a control panel with which to make AA adjustments. It all must be done within the client software. @asmi - I have done according to your instructions (IIRC the link for the dx redistributable in your OP was...

I get the typical "Process has stopped" pop-up. I'm not sure of the exact translation so here is a screen shot for clarity: I'll also add that I had updated my video drivers to the latest beforehand.

My client crashes when attempting to access Video tab. I have Mobil Intel 4 express chipset. DDI level 10 (Does that mean DX10 compatible?) I am using latest Orbiter Beta 111105 + your .zip from today.

I don't see any flashing arrows at grapple points in this client. I'm using Mobile Intel 4 Series Express onboard GPU.

http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/ What's this? MMORPG? FPS? Simulator? What is LIVE? I bought FSX the day it was released and still haven't used it because I've never had a big enough PC.

Ikaros "GAP" successfully measures Gamma Ray Burst - measured on July 7th - NOT a polarized burst measurement(angle of incidence to high to measure accurately) - Ikaros hopes to acquire first ever directly measured polarized gamma burst http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2010/07/20100714_ikaros_j.html

IKAROS: Acceleration by solar sail confirmed Confirmed 1.12 mN of thrust. Equivalent to gravitational force of 0.114g mass on earth. Press release contains 2 graphs: http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2010/07/20100709_ikaros_j.html The first plot on the press release displays acceleration. It looks...

Akatsuki recently successfully tested its 500 Newton thruster which will be used to establish Venus orbit. It is, incidentally, the world's "first ceramic orbital thruster" per the press release: http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2010/07/20100706_akatsuki_j.html

I can't find any specific reference to desired quantities. I can only assume they had hoped to get more material. They do explain in their docs that due to the unknown nature of the surface properties it would be impossible to predict how successful the collection would be. I did find this...
