Now I'd like to see stuff like MOL and launches using Titan 3, and Lunar Gemini

And Blue Gemini?

And Blue Gemini?

Yup the MOL was an USAF thing. But the capsule on a MOL flight wouldn't be Blue Gemini (which is a normal Gemini with an USAF sticker on it), it would be "Gemini B" (with the (in)famous tunnel-hole through the heat shield that made and still makes a lot of ink flow).

Doing some loops above KSC.

No problem with the hatch there.... no flow, no harm. Its like using rubber O-Rings in a SRB. As long as they are sealing the gap, hot gases don't even come close to them. But a small leak past all O-Rings is enough for starting a burn-through.

Looking at the post from asbjos, I remembered to test the lens flares and the effect is impressive. My computer did not melt and the graphics ran very smooth. Thank you D3D9 client developers!





That ray of light coming through the window... Now I'll have to use sunglasses.

Now I'll have to use sunglasses.

Ah yes those are essential in the toolbox of any pilot, eventually they became a symbol (Top Gun...)

The twin rovers after Spirit and Opportunity:

Mars 2020's Perseverance.....

...and Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity

A little compass experiment near the North Pole. Testing the excellent Extended Map MFD from asbjos.

Testing Universal Cargo Deck in Orbiter 2016. It works perfect!






I forgot to mention that Universal Cargo Deck sometimes produces CTDs when starting a scenario. I also tried CamShake v1.1 and it works perfect.

HST on-orbit today.

Atlantis about to enter orbital night on her third orbit after returning to active service after 2-year long Orbiter Maintenance Down Period (OMDP), the second-to-last one for the Boeing-North American (BNA) team at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, Calif. Mission is STS-101 and was a beast to get off the ground due weather and waiting out an Atlas IIA with GOES-L/11 that had booked a slot on the Eastern Range ahead of it.

STS-101 was notable for being first mission of an orbiter outfitted with the Multifunctional Electronic Display Subsystem (MEDS) or "glass cockpit". The other three orbiters still sported the original Multifunctional CRT Display Subsystem (MCDS).

Safe mode. No Michael Bay here. Well done.
