Interesting video of the launch. Too bad it failed, I didn't even know the U.K. was doing this. I'm an aviation nerd but I'm also a space nerd too so I like watching this kind of stuff. Anyone ever try Reentry: An Orbital Simulator? It a fantastic 3D historical space flight simulator where you can sit in the cockpits and fly the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft as well as the Luner Module and land on the moon. I've always dreamed of a space flight simulator of this detail ever since I played the freeware Orbiter years ago.

Here's a link to it for anyone interested https://store.steampowered.com/app/8821 ... Simulator/

Interesting I was a big fan of the freeware Orbiter Space Flight Simulator a long time ago. Unfortunately I am having vision problems lately and might not even be able to post here or even use any simulator now. It's cataracts I think and maybe I will need corrective surgery soon.
