Awesome!  Sounds like a good challenge.  It's good to see the developers circling back to pre-ISS missions.  I am not a fan of the MMU's but it should be fun.  THanks for sharing the link.

It looks very challenging!  Good choice, I think.

Any chance of getting one of the astronauts to hold up the "For Sale" sign at some point, or incorporating it into the mission? As seen here.

Otherwise sounds like a good mission, not looking forward to handling the MMU's again, I never did get the hang of it in STS-41C

51I was one heck of a mission launching 3 communications satellites and another retrieve a repair of a malfunctioned satellite.  Not sure if it would be hard on this SIM though.
