Are you a highly trained engineer, or did you just watch an internet video and decide to be a dork on an internet forum?

Are you threatened by intelligence, or do you consider it a badge of honor to wave your ignorance around an internet forum?

It's simple physics, no intensive training necessary. The shuttle's rockets don't provide the lift to go to the moon, because the shuttle wasn't designed to go to the moon.

I assumed you were waving conspiracy theories around, for my ignorance I apologize.

"I think you don't shoot something for like 20 minutes" is a truthful statement about what Doom 3 thinks you want in a Doom game (for me, they were wrong)

There was no shortage of crashing so it was a successful Flight Club.

Lunar Flight is amazing. You guys should have me over so I can show you how to land a lunar lander without crashing at 11 meters a second.

oh jesus, my very first computer had like two games on it: hugos house of horror and apparently ultima 8. I didn't know the title at the time cuz I was like 6 or something, but I remember this beheading scene so vividly. I have been trying to find out what game it was for so long. so thank you for bringing my over a decade long search to a wonderful close.

Oh man I wish they just played Doom 3 instead, that was great. Watching them fail at both Space Shuttle and Lunar Flight is not really fun to me without Drew there to be the voice of reason.

Though i find it funny how after all those space missions they land on Mars and everything goes to hell. Very fitting.

The only thing I was hoping they would look at was the LOPTW window. A frank reaction to using an in-game spreadsheet to help calibrate a flight path would have been HILARIOUS!

Random and messy, just how I like my Giantbomb.

A real shame about that NASA space sim though. What good is a sim if you can't cause some explosions?

If Flight Clubs are now premium members only, I guess I signed up at the right time.

actually i think it'll be kind of a bummer that it's member only. with niche products like flight sims; the more awareness you create for them the more support they can get.

So i wonder if, when Drew comes, back they'll do a proper quick look of Lunar Flight, after they get some hands on time, and save the Flight Club stuff for playing the game sight unseen.

Though, as far as Lunar Flight goes, after you figure out what to do and how it all works the game gets pretty boring.
