So today in class, I showed my classmates and my science teacher KSP.

[Piv]

While presenting on rocket science on a projector, my teacher wanted a demostration on my powerpoint. Fortunately, I had KSP on the laptop so I decided to show them KSP. Let me tell ya, the first thing they payed attentioned to was the kerbals (unfortunately no bill jeb or bob), they were SCARED. Anyways when I launched my makeshift rocket to orbit, they were already telling me to

-crash it

-turn it

-do a barrel roll

Right as I was cruising to apoapsis, the period ended unfortunately. Fortunately, my teacher let me continue on another day. I just wish that Bill Jeb and Bob was there on my trip

Pretty cool. Matter of time before a someone who played with KSP as a kid becomes an actual astronaut.

Or worse, a rocket scientist.

"Despite the budget cuts, NASA remains adamant that they can put a man on Mars by 2030. When asked for comment, the spokesperson only said "moar boosters"."

N.A.S.A. human resources director pressed ahead with the organisation`s latest recruitment drive today, commenting to reporters:

"I don`t trust any of these guys. If they`re not screaming wildly in the cockpit I don`t think they are paying enough attention."

NASA astronaut Jebidiah Hyewman gave a quote to the paparazzi yesterday eveneing.

"All I have to worry about on my flight, is wheather or not if they had enough duct-tape to hold the spaceship together"

For some reason imagining the astronauts up in ISS playing KSP makes me laugh.

I plan on showing KSP to my class next year...

When I actually take physics

Pretty cool. Matter of time before a someone who played with KSP as a kid becomes an actual astronaut.

I'm looking into it

That would be like watching airplane crashes a few hours before flying.

Congrats OP. Everyone I have shown this game to has had little to no interest.

Next year I have to do a presentation on astronomy and orbits and stuff in science and the first thing that came to my mind was do a mission recreating the moon landing or another. I will surely enjoy watching my classmates ask questions about why jebadiah is the only one smiling

I've just finished my first year of an Astrophysics course at university.

Next year we study Spacecraft design.

I'm desperately trying to find out who teaches it so I can make them use KSP in a lecture XD

I have wanted to do this for a while. How exactly did you manage to convince your teacher to let you do this?

Most likely a modern thinking instructor. An applied visual aid is the best means to teach and learn. If the teacher is familar with KSP and how it works, it is an ideal tool for helping people understand the concepts and physics of space, which then can be extrapolated on with the theory.

I've been hassling my students with my KSP misadventures all year long! I had a couple roll there eyes as I was explaining how I used a couple of equations to place a multi-satellite platform into a 4:5 orbital insertion so I could get even coverage for my GPS system. A couple of them did a demo for Newton's Second Law and projectile motion for their final projects. I will probably be setting up a KSP page on my school site for the summer break.
