Does Phil Plait know of this game?

Anyone know if the "Bad Astronomer", Doctor Phil Plait, knows of this game? Has he posted here? I don't think I've seen him mention it on his blog. This sort of thing would probably appeal greatly to him.

Seeing as how he's so damn aloof, maybe he does not.

Hey, +Philip Plait, How about that reference to the 'mun' in the paragraph right under the phases video? Has someone been playing a little too much Kerbal Space Program lately?

+Kelli Halliburton Oh, that was weird. "mun" was in there twice! It must've been a spellcheck thing. And no, I've played with kerbal. No time for it, really.

It appears he has heard of it but hasn't got the time to play it...

He's aloof? How in the world do you get that? He is a bit of agoof maybe, but strikes me as a very down to earth sort. He is an advocate of critical thinking, and a skeptic, but that doesn't make him aloof.

Seconded. He's a decent chap. Though he does say "Holy Haeuleleka!" a bit too much. And I enjoyed his show.

While I am an amateur astronomer and basic astronomy lecturer, and an avid KSP fan, I've noticed that after I show KSP to friends who are into astronomy, the fact that it is more "game" than "sim", makes them less interested in it, compared to something like Orbiter or Celestia.

You might like his Blog then. It is not just astronomy though, he spends a lot of posts reacting to anti-science shenanigans of creationists, anti-vaxers, and climate change denialists. I suppose this is where the aloof reference come from. Calling out bull**** as bull**** isn't aloof though, it is simply the right thing to do. And he is goofy.
