Saw it on steam. Thought it looked silly. Later I read an article somewhere that talked about its realism and difficulty and thought, "hell yes!" Now I've played 1500 hours

My friend told me about it, I did not know about KSP's existence before.

I think it was a PC Gamer mag i saw in the store, flipped through it, made a note in my phone to check it out. Little did i know where that would lead too

was at a camp learning about robotics and noticed the instructors spent every spare second they could on their laptop. i walked over and all i saw were a bunch of different colored circles around what maybe was a sun. everytime i walked past he was on that screen, or one that maybe was earth. so i asked him what he was playing and he told me. so i went home and tried the demo. annnnnnd now i've logged well over 400 hours. since the day before .21 was released

(5 months after it came out though)I got the game immediately and found myself with a decent grasp early on. Edited March 12, 2014 by Spartwo

Hmmm. I think someone mentioned it on IRC, got curious. You know the rest.

I went to LANFest at the South-By-SouthWest (SXSW) Gaming Convention here in Austin over the weekend. One of the Tournaments that was held consisted of "Get as many kerbals on another planet as possible with no prep". Never heard of KSB before then so I locked my pc and went looking at others that were playing. I saw very detailed rockets built from scratch reach into the heavens. Then I saw my first catastrophic launch failure. I just had to get my hands on it to try it out! The guys running LANFest were nice enough to flung me the tourny copy (a locked down version of the game) the dev's gave them specifically for LANFest so I could mess around in it myself. An hour later I added KSP to my STEAM wishlist. Next paycheck I am going to pick it up officially.

First saw it on the natural selection 2 forums, but didn't get interested until I saw jesse's video of it.

Don't remember. Possibly xkcd.

Maybe in one of the must unusual places: the iracing.com forums.

[Pecan]

Google search for 'space simulation games'

[NecroBones]

A friend found it (either on Steam or Youtube, not sure which), and told me about it. We've been sharing screenshots as we go, since then.

A guy I work with mentioned it.

[Awaras]

Was in a mood for a nice space game, so I went here and started going down the list:

Only made it to K...

This was back in version 0.12.

[Vespasianus]

I can't remember anymore... I think it was in the good ol' summer of 1969...

No, really, I think I found it by searching for "space games like Orbiter but easier" or something like that. Not sure though
