You know you play too much KSP when you can launch into a near perfect circular orbit with a single burn.

Me in shellnut. I once didn't stop my engines (except for stage sep, obviously) until I was above 70 kilometers, at which point my AA and PA were within 5 kilometers of each other. My circularization burn consumed 15 m/s of ÃŽâ€V.

Here's a motorcycle... driven by an engine originally designed to power a Bell helicopter.

I was seriously just about to say Jool instead of Jupiter the other day. I've also been very close to saying Mun/Mün instead of Moon a lot of times.

Oh, and you know you've benn playing too much KSP when you actually understand orbital mechanics (at least in my age, I'm 16).

That is not a bad thing. At least you will have an idea on how to escape Earth when needed. =^.^=

You know you play too much KSP when you dream about modifying a couple of part on your aircraft. You wake up and do exactly what you did in the dream and it works perfectly.

It happened to me more times than I can count and only for KSP.

When you hit a deer in your car and immediately try to calculate how much delta v the deer needed and had, and the same for the car.

when you laugh whenever someone says that you use to many struts...

[Deadweasel]

When you go to bed happy just because you know you can play KSP the next day...

...or when you can't go to sleep at all because you're too wrapped up in thinking about the order of operations for your next big multi-phase mission.

When all you can think of when that dude says that the easter island statues are 30ish tones is "that would be easy to get to space"

When it takes you slightly longer than usual to connect to the forum and your first thought is that it must be because of a new update.

When your building a ship and a dock with a crane out of Legos, and find yourself holding a makeshift Lego SRB in your hand

i had that happen yesterday

[Starwhip]

Probably when you start Google-ing the flight paths, weight and fuel specifications, and destinations of various real-life spacecraft.

Or when you google "Heavy Lifter Rockets".

When someone asks you "Why are you doing that?" and YOU respond "FOR SCIENCE!!!"

When you are watching the live telemetry from NASA's MAVEN launch, and you think "Oh good, they are waiting till periapsis for their transfer burn - much more efficient."

[Spica]

When you calculate that this friday you will break the 3,000 hour mark.

I had a nightmare where Danny4246 took over my Joolian probe that I had spent 3 days on.

[Snapypart]

When you right click on screenshots to rotate the camera.

...and wen you look at dates in screenshots files.

When you start hearing the VAB music, WHILE SLEEPING

[Mr. Entropy]

When you watch NASA launch coverage and catch yourself trying to open map view, rotate the camera, and/or use time warp. Guess how many times I tried to do that during the MAVEN launch yesterday.

[Stratoroc]

When you try to figure out why time warp doesn't work while in the loading screen.
