Just saw this game as a you tube recomendation

[redcoat22]

I was not aware of this game before today. While looking at a video on youtube I saw a recomended link for Kerbal Space Center... I was intrigued.

As an avid fan of the old "Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space", I bought the game immediatley and look forward to my first launch.

Hi redcoat22, welcome to the community

The guys at Squad played Buzz Aldrin's race into space as well, they might base the KSP campaign loosely on that game, I know a lot of people have fond memories of it

Welcome to the forum redcoat22.

I'd recommend you check out the forums, people can help if you if you get stick and no question is stupid that you want to ask.

I haven't played Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space, what's it like?

Have fun playing KSP and on here and go blow up some rockets!

It's like administrating a national space program. More or less.

Here, have the open-source release: http://www.raceintospace.org/

I'll warn you ahead of time -- the learning curve is kind of steep. Research the heck out of things before you try to launch. And don't try to fund every single program the game offers in one playthrough; there's just not enough time.

I managed to land on the Moon in late 1967 as the Soviet Union once, but that's the best I've ever done.
