Here's a question--is there a site or place where you can download or purchase extensive mission recordings from the Mercury, Gemini or Apollo missions?
Spacecraft Films is doing amazing stuff!
http://www.spacecraftfilms.com/
There's also...
Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (Lots of video clips linked within the transcripts!)
http://history.nasa.gov/alsj/
Apollo Flight Journal

Project Apollo Image Gallery

Yeah, I'd heard about it through HobbySpace...
http://hobbyspace.com/Simulators/index.html
...but it took forever to get released, IIRC, and then it ended up costing $24.95 if you wanted to run more than just the last couple of minutes of the Apollo 11 landing.
By that time, I'd discovered Orbiter < http://www.orbitersim.com>, which is possibly the greatest FREEware simulator ever developed!
Sadly, I don't have a PC anymore, and they don't port any of these great programs for the Mac.

Don't forget, there is also a Serenity ship for Orbiter. It was pulled from distribution, but I still have the archive if anyone wants a copy of it. You get a lot of respect for Wash, after trying to fly that. It took me hours before I could use those engine pods properly...
...and yes, I can do a crazy Ivan ;)... If I really, really have to.

Same here. I did get to see a landing once, though (sort of). When i was living in Austin, I was heading home from work one night. As I got out of my car in our driveway, I heard what sounded like an especially loud airplane coming in, and when I looked up, I saw what looked like an unusually large plane with an odd contrail. When I got inside, my roomates were watching the news and talking about how the Shuttle was supposed to fly over Austin as it came in for a landing.
I didn't see much, but it was cool to even catch a glimpse of something that had been tooling around in space for a few days.
