NASA pilots and engineers are really awesome. When I was child, my aim is to join NASA and fly the real shuttle for them. But now I wish, I can feel the experience of flying shuttle from this motion simulator.

Thank you used for an added essential article. Where besides can somebody cause to facilitate kind of in a row in such a complete way of script? I partake of a presentation incoming week, and I am on the keep your eyes open used for such in a row.

NASA is very amazing and hi-tech! Hope I could get inside a space shuttle or even fly up to the space in it. :D

A few were even ablt to attend the Shuttle Discovery's final landing at Kennedy Space Center, but that was seperate from the NASATweetup itself. NASA began offering tweetup's for Twitter members that featured visits to their multiple facilities across the country.

Garrison,

My son and I have tried one of the live simulators when they toured our town. He seemed to have a knack for piloting it (I guess it's growing up as a wired child). But what it does do is make you really appreciate the sacrifices our talented men and women have given to this country to propel us along.

We can't believe that NASA has fallen on such hard times. Cameron, my some has always wanted to go to space camp - he's 10 now. But he's afraid it's going to be canceled. He wants to start a petition to bring back full funding to NASA. He'll have it up live pretty soon.

Best regards, Chris Luttjohann

"Simulators in NASA, in space reminds me of Cosmic. Has anyone read that book? Imagine being 12 years old and passing for someone's dad and being allowed to be a part of a space simulation. This book makes you appreciate what astronauts have to go through in training to fly the shuttle. Check it out!"

Amazing story.
I believe this individuals are professionals and regardless of where their training takes place, they will be ready when it is time to fly this bird out of this world. Thanks for the story NASA.

Hassan,

Cool! Glad to hear that you are pursuing engineering. NASA certainly needs good engineers to continue to grow the space program. I read yesterday that scientists may have found an "Earth-like planet in a nearby solar system." If that is true, we're going to need to discover ways to get there.

Keep up the good work,

"cool, love to try to ride too, been playing simulated plane at pc but it's not as like your ride since you will experience like flying for real."

"A NASA blog is such a great idea, and it is a shame to let the "architecture" of this site hinder the eye-candy NASA can offer. A LiveJournal account might be a good way to step over that boundary. I'd encourage you to check out some LiveJournal communities to see how "artsy" a blog can get (try looking up things like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Orlando Bloom...etc...big name celebrities, because you are bound to come across some "shrines" and very good examples of what a cool blog looks like) You are soooooo lucky!! I agree with "RV"! That really looks like a lot of fun! I heard've of that simulator before, and it sounded cool. It must feel like you are actually the pilot of a space shuttle. AWESOME!"

Are there any similar simulators that the public can tryout

"Thanks for writing this. I am and have always been interested in all kinds of games including video games. I recently bought a new controller so I can play 2 player games with my family and friends, and are having lots of fun :)"

I was at The Museum of Flight and was waiting my turn at the Space Shuttle landing simulator. A six-year-old settled into the control seat, and as the simulation began I heard him ask his father, "Where are the bad guys?"

I'm pretty sure the Space Shuttle doesn't come with onboard missiles.

That didn't stop the kid from pressing the trigger on the joystick a lot, though.

By the way, I cratered the Space Shuttle.

"Nice article Thank You :)"

"Wow, the technologies of the simulators are so advanced! It must have felt like piloting a real space shutter! Anyway, why did you do a 270 degree left turn, and not a 90 degree right turn instead?"

I hope I can fly space shuffle one time.

"We need a simulation like this available to the public. It would be good for schools to be able to visit and see how it would be to fly a real space shuttle.

Dear Guest,

You seem to be able to post questions just fine. Fire away!

i can'n post a comment?why?

Can't wait to see the podcast on this one. Hope Sydney's in it.

I agree with Darnell; this blog needs a splash of color and a sprinkling of zest. A NASA blog is such a great idea, and it is a shame to let the "architecture" of this site hinder the eye-candy NASA can offer. A LiveJournal account might be a good way to step over that boundary. I'd encourage you to check out some LiveJournal communities to see how "artsy" a blog can get (try looking up things like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Orlando Bloom...etc...big name celebrities, because you are bound to come across some "shrines" and very good examples of what a cool blog looks like). Throw up a picture of a particularly awesome looking nebula for the background, and collage some pictures of spacecraft for the header. And make some avatars/icons! They add a little something to your posts, and if people think they're cool, they'll save them and use them in their own blogs (FREE advertising!)

And speaking of LiveJournal, it would probably be easy to get a following there. Many LiveJournal users are digital artists, and I know that I often use NASA pictures of galaxies (and other pretty things) to accent my digital artwork. By posting pictures and NASA news, you could probably generate a lot of interest in the space program if you play your cards right.

As for Facebook, being a college student, I know a thing or two about it ;o) Have you looked at the applications feature? It would be very cool to have an application to put on profiles that tracked where the space station was at a given time, or that allowed NASAtv to be streamed from profiles. Even a NASA picture of the day would be neat.

Keep up the good work! This sort of "marketing" is exactly what the space program needs right now!

Man, you guys are lucky! That looks soooo fun!
