I have an Orbiter question: How can I set course for different planets? Once I tried to fly towards the Sun and I made it pretty far (I'd say beyond Venus), but I couldn't force myself to travel directly towards the Sun.

That, my friend, is a very difficult and time consuming answer to follow...


First try out the moon. Many of the techniques used in going to the moon are similar to the techniques to getting to other planets. It's just that the moon is alot closer, and thus easier to get to.

the body is unfortunatley, painted black, which doesn't come up so well in space. The front end (faced toward earth) has a small white satelite dish, but as that's always pointed toward perth in effect, you cannot get the earth and the surface with the sattelite in it at the same time.
