I did some programming back in the day. GW Basic, Fortran IV/Watfiv, and some softer stuff, namely, Lotus 123 macros, Excel macros, and dBase III+ macros. Even played around with some stuff on an Atari when I the cash register traffic was light. It was just some basic graphics, but it did help sell a few Ataris.

Good luck to you, Fazor. That does sound like a steep learning curve, but if you're already doing games, it's just a different language with more words and different syntax.

If I set the budget, we'd have Ares and more. Unfortunately, I don't set the budget, and Ares is just too expensive and too far out for us to accomplish our goals within the budget we were given.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
