-=KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM=-

- A lot of us have in her childhood fantasied about becoming Astronauts. There are a lot of games or simulators on that subject, like Microsoft Space Simulator ili Apollo Simulator. Kerbal Space program is something in between. It's about designing a rocket with wich you explore the universe.

- Game play is fun and simple. The Controls are reduced to a minimum. Controlling the Phases (Stages) is done in the editor (VAB), in the process of building the rocket. When will each engine fire and wen will a empty tank decouple, that sequence is remembered. In the flight the stages get triggered by key "Space", so you can easily focus on the other aspects of the flight like trajectory, speed, speed, fuel status and similar..

- One of the most useful options is the map - a 3D view of the space surrounding the rocket. Orbital Map shows information of critical mission success. Based of the speed, trajectory and gravitational effects of the nearby planet, on the map you can see the Estimated Trajectory ofyour craft. The trajectory is usually elliptical, because your spend most of time in the solar system (Unless you forgot to reduce the Throttle).

- The game was til recently for Free and now there are a Free and a Full version. They are basically the same, except that the paid version is constantly improved, and the Demo version is outdated. Along that, in the full version its possible to control more rockets simultaneously, and it has more parts.

- Someone might mind that all that is happening on a fictional planet called Kerbin, witch is for some reason built to remind of Earth. If you ignore the fact that that Kerbin sxist of green planes, water and a launching tower, the graphics is pretty decent.
