- JoeAltmaier 14y agoI used to think, if kidnapped by interstellar travelers, I might be able to find my way home. Now I know I never could, not in a million years.
- cryptoz 14y agoSure you could, if you have the Pioneer map with you. Some people have it tattooed just in case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque
- utoku 14y agoI agree with you. I am calling them total bullshit on the scientific part. They could at least try to put the Alpha Cassiopeiae and and Beta Cassiopeiae in the same "general" direction from the Sun. It would fool more people. Distances seem to be correct but the coordinates aren't true at all. Regardless, it looks beautiful. But it would be more beautiful if you could actually see their true locations. Without it, it is a just a game ui demo.

- batgaijin 14y agothat's a really cool simulator! what's the license for it? I can't find it on your github account.
