Anyone remember Buzz Aldrins Race Into Space? New game coming out

[nats]

Just seen this about a new Space Program Strategy game coming out. Interesting I wonder how similar this and KSP will be?

Could this be the new Kerbal Space Centre? No they are images from the Slitherine game and I think they will be just static 2d images from what I can gather which is a bit pants, but still comparisons with Kerbal are going to start to happen!

Yeah, i'm really excited for it! I hope it keeps the same feel of the original.

Agreed... with certain exceptions, of course. The astronaut "morale" thing from the original felt tacked-on... there was no real way to optimize it in flight crews except through trial and error; and given how quickly astronaut crews were recycled, I tended to ignore it pretty completely after a while. Needless complexity.

There were other fiddly bits that I didn't much like -- the fact that for some parts of the program, there was only one real way to go to remain competitive; the way that failures were always catastrophic and never one-off problems; the fact that a lot of mission decisions seemed to be, basically, "Abort Mission? <Y/N>"... but these are trifles, really; I have fond memories of endless hours of playing the first with my former college roommate, and still go back to the open-source version to reminisce from time to time.
