Real science, real physics, no supercomputer required.

N-body simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics.

Universe Sandbox ² includes the desktop version and a VR mode with support for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift Touch, and Windows Mixed Reality. It merges real-time gravity, climate, collision, and material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet.

Universe Sandbox ² is a physics-based space simulator that allows you to create, destroy, and interact on an unimaginable scale. Most accurately we can describe the Universe Sandbox 2 as a space simulator, in which you can do almost anything explore the solar system, watch it move, terraform the planets, manipulate their atmosphere, turn stars into supernovae and even push the planets together to see the result of such an extraordinary encounter.

This and the fact that they are thought to be devoid of water are thought to be the reasons why life never developed on them.Universe Sandbox 2 (USA) PC Download (v27.0.4) * Because of the issues of the last bullet, asteroids are extremely cold. * Asteroids are vulnerable to Solar radiation, lacking similarities like Earth's ozone layer and magnetic field (though some may have magnetic fields, they are bound to be considerably weak by comparison) and many are themselves composed of radioactive compounds. * Many asteroids may merely be loose agglomerations of dust and rocks, which may be very difficult to use.

This means that the available solar energy (solar constant) is 4 to 16 times less, although building large reflectors to collect sunlight is possible in space. The main asteroid belt is roughly 2 to 4 times further from the Sun than Earth. Humans would have to adapt, or asteroids would need to be given a sufficient spin to induce artificial gravity.

* Isaac Asimov pointed out the advantage of building cities inside hollowed out asteroids since the interior area in square miles of all the asteroids put together is a great deal more than that of the surface area of Earth (viewed as a series of cubes one mile (1.6 km) by one mile resting on the surface of Earth) and thus a large population could be accommodated in the asteroid belt. * Many asteroids (especially the extinct comet cores) contain large amounts (more than 5% of total composition) of volatiles and carbon, which are necessary for life support. * Hi-vacuum and lack of gravity facilitate evolution of some Hi-tech industry such material engineering and physical electronics (crystal growth, epitaxy) * Hi surface/volume ratio enables effective exploration and explotation of mineral resources and provide maximal portion of usefull build ground on the surface and underground * Lack of gravity significantly ease transportation of material from asteroide, goods among asteroides and transport of large amounts of mass or massive objects * Material mined from asteroids could be a basis for a trade economy * Some Earth-crossing asteroids require less energy (delta-V) to reach from Earth than the Moon. The Trojan asteroids, in Jupiter's orbit may be primarily extinct comets.

* Asteroids contain several chemical composition classes, including iron and carbonaceous, providing a variety of materials usable in building and fueling spacecraft and space habitats. * Large number of possible sites, with over 300,000 asteroids identified to date * Lack of gravity simplify construction technologies (such as cranes) and reduce structural strength requirements
