When you're speeding up while driving on the roundband to see how Hohman's transfer works in real life.

Hehe, reminds me of an incident that occurred when I had not long received my drivers licence. I very nearly gave myself a Hohmann transfer right into a telegraph pole adjacent the roundabout... :lol:

Right behind you - don't look!
~When you pedal very hard on your bicycle trying to achieve escape velocity.

UNSTOPPABLE if you try to call up TransX on the bicycle computer.


That is, until a car cruises right by you casually, and kills your morale.

Why? It was on a hyperbolic trajectory. No wonder it's going fast.

~When you develop the compulsive urge to strap a rocket to everything in sight to see how high it flies.

Guilty.

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when:

You are granted a flight to the ISS as a space tourist when you reply "No thanks, I can go anytime with Orbiter." :rofl:

I can understand running orbiter with your own mission live and only look outside once you are there, but turning it down is really really bad, m'kay?!

When your notebooks for your classes are full of orbital drawings.

While waiting for dinner to cook, you go to press "T", then realise that this is real-life...

In my country teachers have to look into each student's notebook "help" with the final mark.
If that doesn't happen in New Mexico then lucky you.
I could deal with the teacher,but what if my wife finds it ;-)

When you press T to speed up a download...
When you see RV and LV in Bio class (Right Ventricle and Left Ventricle), and the next two letters that pop into your mind are DV....woops.

When planning your holiday you open an IMFD map program instead of google maps or google Earth.

When you dream every night about going to the moon in a Deltaglider.

When you smash your mobile phone because it rang and distracted you when you were flying inverted reentry causing the XR2 to explode.

When you go through the state of mental depression if you accidentally kill your crew.

When stuck in a traffic jam you ask bus driver why don`t he use hover engines.
