| Quote from an old Vladimir's post 
Quote SpaceEngineer (  ) I had a space dream too when I was a child. In that dream I had traveled from Earth to Pluto in a spaceship that I built myself. I watched how Pluto's image on the main screen grew (well, no windows on a spaceship! ), starting from a faint pixel, then bifurcated on two (Pluto and Charon), then their discs became visible. The next scene - was a strange place with a breathable atmosphere, low gravity and tall buildings, with Pluto and Charon shining in the black skies. Strange creatures, like flying snakes were meandering in the air...
Many years later I was really scared when new moons of Pluto were discovered - Nix and Hydra. I added them immediately to Celestia and wasn't surprised that Pluto and Charon size in the Nix's sky matched with my dream.
Don't be surprise if in 2015 the "New Horizons" will disover an alien base on the Nix, or even if Nix is an alien space station itself
I can't wait to see flying snakes 
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 270 RAM: 8 GBs
(still don't know why everyone is doing this...)

Hahaha Talk with me!
He arrastrado a la familia delante del ordenador para que vivieran el momento. He conseguido emocionarles. Es un momento histórico, hay que hacer sentir a la gente parte de las conquistas humanas.

| It's beautiful. Now just to wait for the pictures and data to come trickling in over the next few months!
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.
