Latest reviews

Very nice... Orbiter has certainly come a ways since the 2010 days... The whole Space X thing has regenerated my interest... I'm old enough to remember the moon landings and the Space Shuttle when it was just a glider on a 747... The industry is really moving fast now compared to then... These simulators and addons can help people understand how space works or doesn't and feel like a part of it... Thank you.
