Greetings from Cleveland! Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted to be an astronaut. Nothing fascinated me as much as space exploration did. The film, The Right Stuff, is what started it all for me. I was the kid with a poster from NASA showing all the manned rockets they've built. Naturally, when KSP came along, I was intrigued. It was on sale one day on Steam and figured, why not? The rest, as they say, is history. I've been playing it off and on since then (I think since .90), and just kind of waiting for 1.0 to come along. Whoa. Okay, so space just got a whole lot more complicated! Never before did I encounter a game (or anything in general), where I was motivated to look up math formulas, laws of physics and orbital mechanics. Nor did I ever have so much *fun!* So, what my plan here is to document my experiences now and then in career mode, going from suborbital flights to interplanetary travel. In fact, one of my lofty goals is to fly to the moon and back and once around the sun as the profession of my love for my wife (we often say that to each other). Here, you will hopefully cheer me on as I recount my successes and probably laugh at my missteps (of which there will be undoubtedly many). Before I begin, I shall familiarize myself again by going through the built-in tutorial (which, I have to say, does not cover anywhere near enough to succeed at this game...but then it would probably be the size of a quantum physics textbook and cost as much). Here I go and wish me luck! (Quit snickering, you.)
