I almost wish you hadn't told me that. I downloaded 1/2 gig of add-ons. I couldn't resist adding in the 2001 spacecraft, even though they are obviously fictional (the monolith is supposed to be included but I can't seem to find it yet-feel free to speculate on the meaning of THAT).

Anyway, I installed all of the add-ons I picked, which included practical items like guided tours of planet and space mission, and I ended up crashing Celestia. I solved this by uninstalling and resintalling Celestia, which retained that add-ons but let me change some settings to get it working.

I've already taken some tours, so thanks for the info.


BTW, kubrick2001.com has a nice Flash presentation on "The Meaning of 2001".
