When you plan a trip, driving to the country side and you start accelerating using max engine power, using 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear (stage) and then you turn off the engine (MECO) so you can reach your destination. Extra points if you use 6th gear thinking it is a low thrust VASIMR engine.
Q: How about the future? Do you plan to release Orbiter 2012? Oh, wait... it would be the end of the world by then... :lol:
I enjoyed this interview a lot.:thumbup:

Last fall, the VX-200 Vasimr prototype reached full-power plasma thrust under the control of a superconducting magnet in vacuum conditions. The achievement marked a critical milestone in Chang-Diaz’s long-running efforts to develop an electric propulsion drive...

My bet is lack of exposure to sunlight (production of...
Pacman ghosts may use a very simple path finding algorithm.
Imagine a Pacman board where every cell in the grid could be a destination, assign a number to every cell.
Make a table where rows indicates current call and columns indicate target cell. Data in that row and column would indicate...
Except for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Orbiter I have nothing else that runs fine on Windows 7. I do not like consoles. They seem way too old fashioned. Microsoft is turning PCs into "trucks" (very popular when our society) and "dinosaurs".

Microsoft christens motion-gaming "Kinect"
When I compare Wikipedia and the boring Encarta, when I compare Mechwarrior 2 and Microsoft Mechwarrior, I see they have a huge lag in gameplay and...
Nope. You rely on sensors. If sensors can't see you, you are invisible.
Examples:
How many pieces of junk smaller than 1 meter are up there near geostationary orbit? How many particles of junk smaller than 10 cm are in LEO? NORAD can't see.
How many undiscovered asteroids are out there in...
