Utah School Selling Its Old Spaceship Simulator. Wait, Schools Have Spaceship Simulators Now?

You lucky Alpine School District students and your Space Education Center with its spaceship simulators. I hate you. All I had when I was a kid were teachers who liked to gossip and humiliate students who didn't go to church. I hope you never find a buyer for your fancy schmancy USS Galileo, which has "stations, networking, speakers, a main viewscreen, and anything a futuristic starship should have" built in.

The auction still has 19 and a half days to go and the current bid is already at $3,200 (USD). I'm pretty sure the simulator cost way more than that though. Here's a few more pics of this stupid simulator. I wish we had one at our school.

The author must be very young (and I am getting old). It was not the USS Galileo, but the shuttle Galileo from the first Star Trek series!
