Well, let's see... seeing as Darwin's spacefaring research has concluded that the sims end at 3,000,000 meters or so... i imagine after that we reach "space".
so why not put Space sims up above the regular sims? No atmosphere, no day/night cycle, heck, no gravity.
However, to keep it special... we should only allow physical transports up there, much like Darwin's spaceship. Teleporting should be off limits for these sims.
that would spur the economy to a) build stations and special places up in Space, and b) start another economic opportunity: space travel!
good idea? bad idea? eh?

Absolutely! Over in Gray we've already got the space elevator halfway built... wouldn't it be great if it and the space launch facilities actually went somewhere?

Theres a problem. Darwin attached an object- he didnt ride anything. Any non-attached prim(includes ones your sitting on) De-Rez at 512 meters. While I think the space sim would be cool and it *COULD* be done- it would be pretty excessive. If the lindens decided to do this i wouldnt expect it till at least like.. v 1.5. P.S.  arwin isnt the ONLY person to have reached 3 million meters

Eh... it's a neato idea but it's a little too much in the way of "Let's change the game so that these specific people can capitalize." Sorry

CORRECTION: The sim doesn't end at 3,000,000 meters, I just decided to bail out at 3,000,000 meters... actually it was 3,050,000 meters, or something like that. I would die of old age before I could actually reach the vertical sim limit.
