I am totally a space cadet, so if you are too click on this link.  One time I went to the moon in real time!  lol  It took about a week to get to the moon.  Then I crashed so there was no return trip to earth.

that is the most mindbogglingly cool thing ever.

You crashed landing on the moon? that's depressing!

Actaully I didn't crash.  The ship I was using ran out of thruster fuel and so I couldn't steer.  I was moving around too much during the week  to look to see where I was at from time to time.  I was having fun.  But I was in orbit around the moon when I ran out of fuel.  But I did have main engine and hover fuel left.....

But I was trying to get another ship up around the moon from the moon to dock with the first ship and steer it but I wasn't able to because I was having trouble with the second ship :roll:

oh well, it was fun :)

Actaully you're right but I still do stuff like this when I'm busy.  It takes a long time to get to the moon;)  I just time everything correctly.  I could be as busy as many of you and still fly to the moon ;) haha
