Page 2Screenshots From A Trip To Jupiter
I started my trip just near Ring Station 1 facing Earth. This is where the simulator will start each time by default unless you specify otherwise. From there, I progressed to Jupiter. As I approached Jupiter, I could make out its moons (the small white dots to the right of the planet in the big picture). I then went into orbit around the planet.

The next picture is a view from the cockpit, approaching Earth's moon. The one following that is with the full-screen option on, looking at Earth's moon again.

Here's part of an email I recieved from a guy I'll just call Anton, since I don't know if he'd want his whole name put up here. He used to work for BAO while they were developing the Space Simulator and gives these thoughts:"If there ever will be a Space Sim 2,
it will probably be written from scratch, and since the original took almost 5 years to develop, that is unlikely. All the key people involved with the original are no longer associated with Microsoft or are on a different project (mostly the first). Gee, I guess if they would have put guns in it and turned it into an arcade type game, it would have sold more units and possibly qualified for a sequel (I believe 200,000 units was the requirement back then)."
