September 28, 201510 yr This software is great for a break from flying. It is a freeware (beta) software that models the entire known universe with a mixture of real and procedurally generated stars, planets, and galaxies that you can traverse at up to 300 million light years per second. I've been playing with it a few hours and it gives you an amazing sense of the size of the universe. What's most incredible is that it's all the work of one man. http://en.spaceengine.org/
September 28, 201510 yr This looks incredible. I wonder how is it one person can create something like this? He or she must be extremely talented.
October 1, 201510 yr Lots of talented people with gigantic, bulbous brains out there, I guess. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

October 1, 201510 yr As someone who is really interested in space and astronomy, I have been following Space Engine since early stage of development. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing that I recommend to anyone who is even slightly interested in space
October 1, 201510 yr I've installed it after I read your post/suggestion. This is a keeper, very well done! Good tool to educate the kids, especially after the recent lunar eclipse woke up their interest. Regards, Vital Vanbeginne
