“For those of us who would really like to go to Mars but just can’t swing it, Reading Information Technology Inc. (RITI) has a program that’s the next-best thing to being there, and the experience is quite realistic.” 

What S&T likes:

• 3-D flybys

• Very Detailed graphics

• Surveyor feature

• Provides information on Mars missions and links to other resources(requires internet access)

What S&T doesn’t like:

• No way to save 3-D flybys (fixed in version 1.2)

• Requires administrative privileges to run (fixed in version 1.2,  4/22/2004)

• Performance is very slow if you don’t have enough VRAM
