    "This one-of-a-kind simulator is almost exactly like the simulators the NASA astronauts train on"

    The simulator is not included.

    You will, however, get an almost new copy of Microsoft Space Shuttle Simulator. If you agree to pay the $350 shipping, he'll include the nifty joystick.

    Maybe Lance Bass from N'Sync can afford this, since he doesnt seem to be able to pay his bill to the Russians on time... He can sit in the chair and make rocket noises...
