hahah JB80 got it.

Its from a game(sim) called Kerbal Space Program. I figure most people on here will like it.

In short, its a sandbox rocket building sandbox with an earth, moon and smaller farther moon which you can build a rocket, go into orbit, do moon landings, fly etc etc... and blow things up quite alot.

There is a massive amount of mods for the game as well as plugins that allow automation, animation etc.

I recommend you check it out, the demo is free but an older version, the game is $15 for the latest version. If you like gaming and space and sandbox games this game is for you.

No I dont have any links to the Kerbal team, just somthing I enjoy playing when im not outside.

:D

It's a nifty little program, I have only the demo though.
Somebody showed it to me a while ago so it has probably advanced since then.

On another note, I saw the Shenzhou the other day and I said to my wife.. that looks like somthing I build in KSP... good luck chineese... my rockets have a habit of exploding...

now I really truly hope I have not jinxed their space program. I hope they do well as it will benefit the world with more space travel...

I thought id try and model the Shenzhou 9, I think I got close. Did it fly without exploding.. YES IT DID !

Also is Skylab Moon edition.
