So...Dan Fullerton set KSP as final homework?

[Cesrate]

Holy crap we see this news on one of OUR contry's gaming sites....

[KasperVld]

I'm sorry but I'm completely confused as to what you're referring to.

Really cool ... especially the rules he created with regards to the budget and milestones for the space agencies

Publicity. Excellent! We need more indie teams with good ideas to see that space actually sells. There can't be enough games taking space exploration seriously.

Luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Wish my teacher did the same thing! Because instead of this, we got crappy finals

Agreed....

does anyone read pc gamer anymore?

anyway, 1.500,000 for eve return but 1,800,000 for duna return~ some elements of the project may need refining

[KasperVld]

I saw that and figured it would be part of the learning process, not a mistake

Yeah I saw that as well.. Eve's certainly no walk in the park for any Kerbonauts..

Well compared to the costs of the parts that is fairly good. I've seen peoples rockets to Eve and back that are under 250k.

I assume you mean without the landing and returning of Kerbonauts of course ...

aside from the one spaceship that (ab-)used the elasticity of girders and struts for return to Eves Orbit (which surely wouldn´t be allowed in Dans homework)

I cannot imagine a mission for < 250k that includes a manned landing on Eve

Fantastic use for Fun and Education. We only got to launch our rockets twice when I was in AP Physics, and had to build them from kits so we never had to figure out what makes one rocket fly better than another. This is so much better from a "bang for buck" perspective.
