This is merely the beginning, the end is far from here. The earth stays blue for now, until the darkness of space takes me away and it all ends.

Hey I think there's data in the image above. If I download the image its 469kb, if I load it up in photoshop and then save it out again at maximum quality I get just 168kb. Anyone know how to decode it?

Its been years since I've played with Virtual AGC. You can plug it into Orbiter via NASSP and fly your simulated spaceship to the moon with the original Apollo software.

It's actually the latest(R1014) svn checkout from here: http://virtualagc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

You can get this information by svn info.
