I don't mean to be rude or anything breaking in on your shuttle party, but have you ever heard of a program called Orbiter?

But of course!

Orbiter - A free space flight simulator

You're not being rude — in fact, just the opposite!

Quite a few Browncoats in the Orbiter community, and Jon Marcure (jmarcure) is our god!

The package has been delivered. Pictures were taken (and probably downlinked already)and I'll have to find how to get them. I've got most of the crew hooked on the show and Clay too, so he will enjoy them.

Thanks again and take care,
Steve

Are the discs in their original packaging?
I thought they might've wrapped 'em in NASA Blue...

I dont know, I had emailed him that photo, but to save bandwidth they might have clipped it from the uplink. I have a FAO friend trying to find the photos, since I have found it yet.
