I’m a big fan of computer simulations.  This is an oldie-but-goodie.  It’s been updated a lot over the years to keep up with graphics, physics, and just to add new stuff.

If you ever wondered what flying the Space Shuttle is like, check it out:

ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond
the confines of Earth’s atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy
Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space
Station or take the futuristic
Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours.

I’ll definitely be spending the weekend making runs to the ISS and back.
