Our first exploration in Second Life


We started out at Esme's house, then tried to find a place to explore that would give us some educative value. At one point Djang/Linda found some type of fair we could attend so David and I attempted to go there with the map coordinates. When we put the coordinates in they (the coordinates changed I noticed so we did not end up at a fair). Not sure where we were. David and I went back to your house.


Artemis/Heather and Madeline/Kristen came up with us going to explore Stem. At first when we all landed we went off looking around and I went through a passage which I ended up dropping like a hot potato. For me I just keep dropping instead of trying to pick myself up with the fly button I wait til I land and then try to figure out where I am. I felt so lost and it seemed liked I fell in a black hole and I could feel myself falling.



Finally I got on my feet and started to explore when I ran across Nasa. I looked around a bit then started flying to see if I could find the others. I felt a sense of loss not knowing if they would make the same mistake I had coming through that passage.


Finally I saw Djang/Linda and felt relief. David showed up shortly after and we went on exploring. We found a big ship and I had a hard time getting on that.



We then started on further exploration and we ended up in a place that kept telling me I wasn't supposed to be there. David showed up there to and I told him that if I fly around I get stuck at a certain oint mid sky and told "You are not allowed to be here".  Once I got near the planet there it stopped me. When I turned there were several barriers saying under construction.



We left there and found National Space Society NSS where we met our new friend Ariel. She allowed up to join her group. We may go back for Wednesday evening meeting.




I had an awesome time thank you to all of you for allowing me to explore with you!

  1. Diana,
    Your adventures sound fascinating. I have not explored SL in depth yet but am looking forward to doing so this week. The NASA location looks fascinating. Do you know if that is there for educational reasons, or did someone just like NASA? Keep up the exploring, it looks like you are getting comfortable in SL!

  2. Hi Colleen I found Nasa at STEM Island and I do believe there is educational value there. I just went and got this from a notecard.
    Нere you can find a planetarium system constructed by Jean-Pierre Euler for Stonehenge project directed by Maggie Rae.

    The planetarium is smooth, real time, real scale. It can can show any calendar sky event with Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus Jupiter and Saturn,
    including solar and lunar eclipses. It is reasonably accurate in time and position of planets.

    The hard corded coordinates for the sky view are the coordinates or RL Stonehenge. This can not be changed for now.

    Here is the SLurl for STME Island: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/STEM%20Island/166/160/251

    We did a lot of exploring there. Check it out.
