A space simulator is a system that tries to replicate or simulate outer space and/or the experience of space flight in a spacecraft as closely and realistically as possible. This includes full-size cockpit replicas mounted on hydraulic rams, controlled by state of the art computer technology or elaborate watertanks for simulation of weightlessness. Space flight simulators are used almost solely by the aerospace industry and the military for cosmonaut/astronaut training, disaster simulation and spacecraft design.

There are also devices which are used by scientists to study the environment of outer space, such as the Large Space Simulator at the European Space Research and Technology Centre; as well as astrophysics, such as The Space Simulator at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Who had bought the TV show "the apprentice 3" video?who built the simulation in space could float in indoor ?
Q. the winner reward is play simulation astronaut in space could float. that's one of the program in the apprentice 3. ***noticed: i'm not asking which kind of airplane, but asking who provide this place and who built it. due to we want to build like this equipment in Taiwan, many thanks for your kind help. good luck everyday.

A. There are two methods to simulate "zero g" first is in an airplane: second is on the ground, but it's more like a skydive simulator:

where to find simulation games?
Q. I love playing The Sims. Unfortunately;; I lost my installation disk and I don't have enough space to install The Sims Online on my computer. Does anyone know where I can find online simulation games that are very realistic where you can dress up your player (hair;; eyes;; clothes;; mouth;; etc.);; build your own house;; and play online with other players? It also needs to be free. I don't mind signing up for anything so long as it doesn't cost anything. Thanks!

Read my story, what do you think of it?
Q. No stealing This one is about teenagers training to be space marshalls (kind of like cops for the galaxy). This bit is right at the beginning when they are still preparing for that dreaded exam --- The trainee pilot desperately tried to weave the ship in and out of the asteroids. She kept her eye pealed for asteroids. The whole ship shook and jerked violently as it hit an asteroid. Warning; Damage level critical, came the smooth, unchanging female system voice of the ship. The warning siren sounded in the cockpit as the ship became increasingly difficult to control. She knew this was the end. She closed her eyes and hoped for the best. A final collision with an asteroid damaged the ship s thrusters. She had lost all control as the… [cont.]

A. General comment: Good. Just have a few questions for your diction: 1. 'desperately tried to weave the ship in and out of the asteroids'... I'm not sure about the 'weaving the ship in and out'...are you weaving clothes? I thought she's...driving...and evading...the asteroids. 2. 'smooth, unchanging female system voice'... perhaps monotonous/metallic/apath etic might be more suggestive? 3. 'She appeared to be deep in thought'... a simple word 'pensive' or 'thoughtful' or 'ruminating' might do? Your scenes might seem a bit too brief if this is going to make up for the entire chapter :O. (Again, since my first language is not English, you might not want to take my advices too seriously)
