The\u00a0Kerbal Space Program<\/a><\/p>\n

is a game where the players create and manage their own space program. Build spacecraft, fly them, and try to help the Kerbals to fulfill their ultimate mission of conquering space.<\/em><\/p>\n

Although inhabited by comic\u00a0Kerbal characters, the underlying physics of the rockets and spacecraft is very realistic and accurate. (See the recent TMRO interview<\/a> with Scott Manley<\/a> who has created numerous tutorial videos<\/a> for KSP.)<\/p>\n

The KSP is becoming increasingly popular and has its own\u00a0Kerbal Podcast<\/a>. (It’s also available on\u00a0YouTube<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
