I think that someone wants to study the F-1 engines as they still are the most powerful (Western hemisphere anyway) rocket engines ever made. Possibly for incorporating into the new Heavy Lift rocket that NASA is developing.

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
