Today's Webtip: Space Engine
Ok, I know I am never going to make it to Mars. I gave up my dreams of space exploration ages ago when it was clear I was never going to meet the minimum physical requirements or be able to stand the process of joining the U.S. Airforce.
Yes, there was a small pang of hope when the private space-race started, but since I knew I wasn't ever likely to meet the new minimum requirements of being a billionaire or boy band member...
But now, I can at least hope to do it from the comfort of my own home. That has a couple of advantages, actually. I don't need to worry about dying a fiery death, can continue to enjoy chips and salsa, and won't have to give up on rooter for the rest of my life.
As an added benefit, I could actually explore the whole of the known universe, fly a variety of ships, and wouldn't have to spend most of the time locked in a tin can looking out at nothing.
Well, I could, if I could get myself to fulfil the minimum requirements of a Windows PC.
The rest of us can enjoy a somewhat older alternative that will even run on slower systems and is cross-platform.
