One by one the six new starship simulators are opening at the Christa McAuliffe Space Center in Pleasant Grove.  The Cassini set sail with her first crew Saturday morning, April 17 under the watchful care of Jon Parker, Set Director.   One thing you'll appreciate about the Cassini is the generous room allocated the simulator's control room.  There is room to stretch out and relax along with extra room for visiting guest observers.  The Cassini is power by Alex Anderson's Thorium software.   Does the Cassini's Bridge layout look familiar?  Fans of the Space Center's first starship Voyager should see comparisons.  The Cassini was inspired by the Voyager.  You have your center stations flanked on the left and right by the left wing and right wing stations.  The Voyager's stations were on different levels.  The Cassini's stations are all on the same level as per the architect's instructions.  Regardless, the  spirit of th...

The Third Starship to Carry the Galileo Name Launched on Saturday  Top Right and Left: Galileo I and its Creator David Kyle Herring.  Bottom left: Galileo II A project Led by David Kyle Herring.
