Maybe a bit OT...
My copy of Scott Sullivan's Virtual LM came in today. The predecessor, Virtual Apollo, was a fine book. I gave it four stars, with some reservations.
But in comparison, Virtual LM is superb. =D> It's just incredibly detailed; there must be at least 600 illustrations in total. And nothing seems to be simplified this time around. There are detailed, annotated, models of the PLSS, MESA, and ALSEP. Small details like wiring, plumbing, and structural beams are also included.
The text is a bit more comprehensive, and is better proof-read. The pictures aren't as pixelated this time around.
I'll write a more detailed review later, but there are a few parts that will surely leave the HBs fuming. The deployment and assembly of the rover is illustrated step-by-step. The "LRV can't fit in the LM!" argument is a tired and lazy one, but it's knocked down throughly here.

I received a copy earlier this week, though I haven't had time to do more than just quickly flip through it. I look forward to spending more time with it.

Had my copy in the mail today.

Drooooollllllllllllll.

A few weeks ago, I got an email from the author. Some months ago, I posted somewhere that "Virtual Apollo" was Lukas' favourite picture book, Scott read it and thought, he drops a note.

It seems your CD-ROM is damaged. I have absolutely no problems with it.
I assume, your drive is okay.

I have this 20-year-old cat that I love dearly, which is a good thing for her sake because last night she threw up on my Virtual LM book.
