It worries me that Nasa employees play KSP.

There are a LOT of people employed by NASA, JPL, etc. that play KSP. (I'm an astronomer at Caltech, so I'm in regular contact with these folks.) I mean, think about it; in the real world we're still having a hard time getting funding for manned missions to our moon, or probes to land on Mars, and pretty much every other planet gets flyby probes. But in KSP, we can land on the moons of a gas giant and do Grand Tours of the solar system. So, why is it surprising that people in the industry would like this sort of game?

Here you go, NASA. One second, finding the asteriod.

I got the solor panels by cannabilizing the Thor pack. Then I had them resized, and now they are my favorite part.

Maybe KSP is what NASA uses to train their astronauts... IT'S ALL A LIE 0_0

Well, there is a Soyuz mod for Kerbal.

Does "creating" == "endorsing"?

Moonbase Alpha... Poor naming choice that... We ALL know what happened to poor old Moonbase Alpha don't we hehe.

Mind you it would be something Kerbals would do with their history of spaceflight.
