I still think being able to simulate an Apollo mission would be second to nothing. Then again you'd need someone to build a functional multi-stage launch vehicle with 3 stages plus separable LEMs and command modules and yeah I'm just dreaming and babbling at this point... but honestly, would that not be the coolest thing X-Plane had ever simulated? EVER?

Well, there's still Kerbal Space Program :D

Edit- Actually, the orbital mechanics are very well simulated in that game. Literally takes rocket science to get to the "Mun".

Just the reentry and landing in the shuttle is quite a challenge. The UFO could be a lot of fun to fly if it is capable of hyper speeds and other celestial bodies were modelled. The V9's Mars was very cool but I would not know where to begin to try to navigate to or from the earth. I suppose with this one you can do suborbital flights across the globe in a matter of hours if not minutes. It could be funny to use online and pup up and scare VATSIM pilots (provided that they could see you as a UFO and not a Cessna)

If you really want to do a realistic space flight, I think it would be much easier to use Orbiter for this. ;)
