Must-have Satellite Eye Candy
Editor’s note: Earlier this week I was in Monterey sitting in the audience of the at the NASA Administrator’s Symposium “Risk and Exploration: Earth, Sea and the Stars”. In the front of the auditorium was a 17″ Mac Powerbook used to run the event’s multimedia. When the machine was not in use a screensaver came on. Each time it did I was totally distracted and captivated – as were many others. I saw satellites cavorting across the Earth as the planet swam through space . I learned that the application responsible for this addictive eye candy is “Freefall’. If you are at all interested in space – and own a Mac – then you simply must own this software. It is mesmerizing. I now have it on my new 17” Powerbook and I am not getting any “real” work done.
