Buzzing the Tower in the NASA Shuttle Simulator

[singedrac]

I was shown this for the first time today. Amazing! Of course the shuttle cab wasn't installed in the simulator at the time, but I saw both simulator and sat in the cab. I might be working there soon! Unpaid IT sort of job but I think it would be an awesome place to work.

Awesome... Been to the same spot but from the outside, so when I mentioned this on my blog, I linked to you so people can see the inside of the cab. Great stuff! If you have time, please also do a "video response" back to my Bobko video, I'd love for the Tweetup folks(we all just visited Ames) to find your clip through my YouTube Channel as well =)

cool but misleading

I think we disagree on what buzzing the tower means

[jurvetson]

@moneyman10k yes, very true. I should mention that i intended to fly by the tower and see if the simulator had data out in the swamp where nobody would fly... but something about the realism of the moment made me freak out and try to recover. It was difficult to see it as a pure play.

[moneyman10k]

I agree with and sign off on your actions :)

Just looking at that thing makes me motion sick! but it beats the pants off "star-tours" at d-land..."E-ticket" fer sure. PS: how much does 30 minutes in that ting cost?? Probably "free to those with access, infinite to those without?")

Wow, that was cool!
