- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller, NewsForge Editor in Chief - Today is Labor

"real world" and buckle down to ...

Explore cosmos with free software
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/31/1410243
For love nor money, there is no cooler software anywhere on the Net than Celestia. Flitting about the universe much the way Carl Sagan did in the Cosmos series on PBS years ago, you can explore the nine planets and stars beyond.
