|1= We do pretty well within the Earth atmosphere, and appear to be able to do orbital flight around Earth very nicely, too. Mars and the Moon will be future projects - it shouldn't take too much work to do that. Red Canyon Software has already made a Mars airplane simulator using JSBSim some years ago. | |||

|1= rendering stuff in space is really easy the Celestia way - we can add as many textured spheres as we like. Planetary positions are tabulated, we can simply use these tables to look where to put them at any given time. I suppose even using our default engine to define moon landing sites is not a substantial issue, I am fairly sure once we can get into a Moon orbit that people can be persuaded to allow to re-center the default terrain and to use Moon textured landclasses. | |1= rendering stuff in space is really easy the Celestia way - we can add as many textured spheres as we like.
