Re: free 3D Mars Download - www.geofusion.com/MarsDemo

I think you'll enjoy and appreciate (if you have a PC) this free 3D Mars Demo.  It has global imagery and terrain data and allows you to fly around and explore the planet.  This is a lower resolution version of what we have installed in Nation Geographic's Explorer's Hall museum in D.C.  A higher resolution version with inserts will be available soon on CD.

Download is at:

enjoy!

Unforunately its a 32.5MB file, the site does not allow you to reconnect if the server is lost - as I'm on a slow dial up connection it would be unlikely I'd be able to download the file so will have to see what price the CD's come out at methinks!


There was a young lady named Bright.
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

Not to rub it in  or anything but the simulator is pretty darn cool.  It's too low detail to be useful from a mission planing perspective but the ability to swoop around Mars is really neat.

Thanks Chuck for a quick turn around on the CD - arrived yesterday though I have not had time to play with it yet (still unpacking books from a book buying trip to Hay-on-Wye), will let you know how it runs when I've had a play.

Your welcome!
We now have a new 'Trickle Download' option for users with slow modems.  Give it a try.
