  1. Congratulations!!! 100 SIMS!!!

  2. The educational value of this one is huge, probably the biggest of all the sims. Engineering the model of gravitational forces of space bodies is probaly the most difficult of the tasks.

  3. This one is really nice for classes. Any more sims of space objects interactions coming?

  4. Please keep up the good work. Waiting for next one.

  5. A very good job!

  6. This is great to understand the relationship between the sun, earth and moon. Congratulations!
