Next year, the first modules of the International Space Station will be
launched into low earth orbit and the challenging task of piecing them together
will fall to a few highly trained astronauts and cosmonauts. The rest of us will
just have to watch the numerous TV and internet broadcasts that are bound to
follow. Unless, that is, you have a copy of Space Station Simulator to hand.
This multimedia CD-rom allows you to explore a virtual model of the station
inside and out, and to “fast forward� the construction to see what the station
will look like when it is finished. You can even build your own version of the
station. Most exciting of all, when the construction gets going, Space Station
Simulator will guarantee you a ringside seat. Published by Maris,
