I got an e-mail from a volunteer with the International Spaceflight Museum in Second Life. It’s about their Sims Anniversary Celebration. The Sims are Spaceport Alpha and Spaceport Bravo and they celebrated the anniversary of the two sims last June 14, 2008 which was already a week ago.

Unfortunately, I was not checking my e-mails that often during that week so I was not able to announce it here. I’m terribly sorry for that.

Anyway, I went to visit one of the sims today, Spaceport Alpha, and I can say that it’s a pretty amazing sim with lots of stuff to see. I wasn’t able to explore that much because I was lagging badly. Don’t get me wrong, it was not the server or the sim. The sim wasn’t lagging, it was my connection. My Lag Meter kinda indicated that the lag was due to the number of images loading.

It took me a while before I could see anything and when I finally did see something, the first thing I did is to check out the rockets and the model of the solar system.

The sim is just filled with information. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to explore it thoroughly because of some weird lag which kinda makes my movements extremely choppy. I will definitely return and take a more closer look at the place. Who knows, I might even learn something.

Seriously, the International Spaceflight Museum in Second Life is a must see. Not only for those interested in the subject but for everyone. Students and teachers will surely enjoy their time here.

Visit Spaceport Alpha today!
