Those are pretty cool. I love the little features Google hides.

I like The Laundry Alternative. http://www.laundry-alternative.com/

I live in a small apartment with no washer/dryer, or way to hook them up. It sucks. So, I got a portable washer (mechanical); and a spin dryer from them. They work great, and are far more environmentally friendly. The spin dryer removes an amazing amount of water, and I just hang the clothes up over night.

The only thing it doesn't work well on are very large items like blankets, very heavily soiled items, like kitchen rags, and--getting pet hair off all that black cotton I seem to wear.

That's a coincidence. Last night I had Celestia up. I was following Saturn, setting the clock to run at 100000x so that each second was about 30 hours. At that speed the satellites spun around Saturn and Saturn was moving against the stars. If I had had a really large screen, I would have put it put there and put on some nice classical music. At once point I had the speed up at 1,000,000 and was watching the galaxies spin by. I think I ended up in the year 2525 (song reference).

Here is my view of Saturn. I have max stars and constellations turned on so the screen is a little crowded. If I turn up the speed, the moons of Saturn become apparent since they being to move faster than the stars.

Very cool program.

Have you tried using some of the add-ons? There are many good ones for it.

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".

You should get the earth 64k textures and some fictional solar systems.


And here is a fun space game. Orbiter Space Flight Sim

I can't get it to work. Downloaded it, installed, and it crashes about 15 seconds into starting up. Dang!
