Hi,

I wanted to sort of open a topic as to what will happen with Orbiter as in destinations beyond the solar system?

I know it might be a bit of a maths and science problem for this path beyond the last planet.

I recall in the past, having used some actual star systems, and even a probe, Daedalus, I think now.

Could that not get to the Moon much quicker than three days? Even if sort of science fiction, not because it is, but since it hasn't been tested in reality.

Or like Orion, the probe is the only real idea of travelling somewhere.

I know Alpha centuari is very very long away, even with a probe like Daedalus travelling at ten percent the speed of light, or even Orion.

What are the thoughts?
 
you could try this:

Try Space Engine, it has vessels and you can travel to other star systems but I think the stars are all fixed locations so it is not realistic but it is close. You should sign up to their forum and ask your questions, Space Engine is much bigger than Orbiter.
 
I don't think that would run on the Windows XP system.

Isn't that a scenario anybody would want to see in Orbiter? Be able to travel using the probe or what ever to anywhere in the solar system, or even the nearest star.

Please don't misunderstand my idea for including everything else. Certainly not.:P

I've tried the Daedalus probe, and I can't bring the inclination down to try and go to the Moon. Hmm. Neither nodes have any affect.
