Since this really isn't about using Celestia, I've moved it to a more nearly appropriate forum.
(I suspect we really need a space-flight forum, but I doubt that'll happen.)

I still have a lot of faith in Spacex. I believe this is the way of the future. Private companies like spacex will soon shake nasa to its fondations and force it to become more streamlined and organized. It is precisely the competitin that Spacex and future companies (The Ansari X-prize contest is helping the cause also) will provide that will speed up development of space technologies.

Just do what makes you happy provided you do not infringe on another's happiness for there is no point in living if you do not have happiness.
[tex]Happiness = \[\int_a^b \int_c^d \int_e^f \int_g^h U(x,y,z,t)\,dx dy dz dt\] = 42[/tex]
If only we knew U!
