Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program is a space simulator where the player will lead the Kerbal race and guide it to the stars. It is necessary to invent technologies, assemble mechanisms and conduct research on a galactic scale. There are few parts, but each of them has weight and characteristics, and the connections affect the behavior of the entire rocket. Fuel, traction and streamlining are truly considered. It all starts with a rocket of a couple of parts and the first launch, which will almost certainly end in fire. Then orbits, dockings, satellites and interplanetary flights appear, and with them real science. The modes differ: in a career you need to earn a reputation and open nodes, in the sandbox everything is available at once, and the scientific mode requires you to conduct experiments. Failures are part of the process here, and failures happen much more often than successful starts. Planning flights requires an understanding of orbits and fuel reserves, so without theory you won’t fly far. Small errors in calculations lead to the ship flying into nowhere, and this is considered a normal experience. Experienced players build orbital stations and entire fleets, and some of the launches take place according to the community schedule. The community creates modifications with new parts, planets and navigation systems. Thanks to this, the game lives for years and remains a platform for engineering experiments. It’s a special pleasure to watch the Kerbals smile in the capsule and fall to the bottom of the crater. For those who dream of space and are ready to learn from accidents, this control center is open.
