Before this I had an old Microsoft Space Simulator. It was nicely programmed but the graphics were frequently lacking. I did like their 'gravity well' routine where, if initiated, would simulate actual space conditions with gravity a sometimes annoying factor. But most folks, including my wife, don't 'get' my fascination for space in this manner and just want to get top the planets - you know, sight-see.
Finding Celestia was a curious happy accident. I haven't had a lot of time to really play with it but the whole community feel of this has potential to become something quite marvelous. Considering the fact that when I was young the best pictures of the planets were blurred at best - Celestia is a spine tingling marvel. Where can it go from here? Eventually have the ability to land on a terrained surface, for example. A Celestia MUD? I wonder how far this could be taken?
