Gonna check it out. Is it like a regular flight simulator, but in SPACE? Also, is it bound to annoying things like things that are possible, or can you make a spaceship fly at .999c into the sun?

Relativity is not modeled, so you can tool around at Warp 9 if you like, but the universe outside of the Solar System is simply painted on an infinitely distant backdrop, so you can't get to, say, Alpha Centauri.

As we have seen the station move across the sky in the Hanners/Sven story and as the Earth still looks pretty huge I doubt it is in Geo-stationary orbit.

Learn physics with Hannelore! I wonder if she'll explain that they're not in zero gravity, but in free fall...
