...when you miss a basketball shot, and blame it on an autopilot failure caused by a drop in framerate.

When you go to youtube, and decide to search for videos about FSX, and instead of typing "Flight Sim X" in the search box, you type "Flight Sim 2010 P1" :blink:

After getting the car back last week after starter trouble repairs and watching a few too many Gagarin docs and playing the Vostok mod, I let out an enthusiastic poyekhali! / Поехали as it finally launched.

Another one is when you consider a walk in the snow as an EVA.

When you discuss your orbiter adventures with real pilots and they find it quite interesting and want the download page.

Guilty... After walking through deep snow I dropped into a pile of snow. Then I thought that walking through that snow was as hard as walking on the moon, closed my eyes, and had a new add-On idea: a pile of regolith for our UMMUs to take a break...

when you imagine what it'd be like coming home from mars or the moon after a successful mission, or a successful return home similar to Apollo 13.

And when you start drawing pin-ups with the intention of putting them on spacecraft.

Bonus if the pin-ups resemble the spacecraft themselves (as on SpaceShipTwo)...

Okay, not a true pin-up, my style is still too clean due to almost always portraying younger girls in not-particularly-sexy poses. :p

When you just finished a real time lunar trip.

I finished a real time Gagarin-trip!
