the Sims

Anyone hear ever play any of the sims video games? The only one I play is sim city. Anyways, I just realized after watching FTETTM many times how fun it would be to play a 'Sims' version of an Apollo mission. I really wish they'd make a new Sims game based on an Apollo spacecraft flight and moon landing or maybe another NASA mission. It can't be too top secret for NASA to release info about a moon mission to allow a video game company to make a game about it, or is it?

Yes, you are reading my signature.

I like your style! Would love to play a sim game like that. Be kinda of cool to fill up a fecal bag and then exploded on your fellow astronauts.

Or just say “the hell with it” and open the hatch while in space.

I am glad this board is alive. I hadn't seen this series and I love everything related to space, sci fi or not, I really like the Apolo 13 film and for whatever reason I never saw this series. I am watching it right now and I am in the 9th episode or something like that. I really love it, I don't want it to end. Do you have anything you can recomend that is similar?

Anyway. I would love any kind of space program simulation game, where you could take off on a spaceship you created and explore space.

CyberVerm, if you want to watch an incredible series that is similar to From the Earth to the Moon but is a documentary rather than a docudrama, and covers much more of the space program, the best I have seen is Rocket Science. It was a series produced for Discovery Channel Canada in 2002. It's fantastic. You can find the IMDB link here. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428153/. I had a very difficult time finding the DVD set, and eventually found it on eBay.

Closest thing I know of is Kerbal Space Program:

I agree with Ellis... Kerbal is one of the most amazing, frustrating and rewarding sims. Orbital mechanics... who knew it was so frustrating? And after making a rendezvous...? Amazing.
