I really like this game. It is one that, kind of like Minecraft, you see kids playing with it, think to yourself, how would I do that differently? Start fiddling with it, and before you know it, suddenly, hours have gone by, and the kids have found something else to do, but you keep playing. This game is also a great teaching tool. I thought I understood how orbits worked until I started playing this game; now, I actually understand how to move in them, change them, and, hardest of all, rendezvous with another orbiting object. Also, taking off is the easy part; landing in an atmosphere is fairly straightforward, but landing with no atmosphere—is hard.
Kerbal Space Program 2 was released in early access today, and I just had to try it out. I recorded my first session and uploaded it to YouTube. Much to my surprise, I landed and walked away. You can see it here if you want.
