So KSP. Buzz aldrin is checking you out!

Jeez. He wrote "I'll have to check out KSP," not "I'm going to check out KSP on (date)." Perhaps he'll not do it at all. Is that really worth making a new thread about?

A fair point, but in my opinion - yes it is. Doesn't really matter if or when he checks out KSP - it's enough that he's aware of it and name-dropped it.

He wasn't aware of it. Someone mentioned it to him and from his reply I don't think he knew what it was.

To me it sounded like he wouldn't check it out. That's something you say to be nice.

I little OT, but thought you might like to read this. Some years ago, a guy named Ron Monsen created a program called "Eagle Lander", a pretty good and detailed LM simulator for the PC. He actually managed to get Gene Cernan (AP17, last man to walk on the moon) to try it:

I'd be interested in KSP feedback from either Cernan or Dave Scott.

Can someone say Massive Boost in popularity!?!?!

Not that massive. You've forgot you live on Earth. If it was Justin Bieber, then it would be massive. :rolleyes:-_-

I'd like to see Aldrin playing KSP. Now that would be fun, and a massive boost. It would go viral on YouTube.

Massively popular amongst the people who we don't want it to be massively popular among. But we can all agree and welcome more space enthusiasts, yes?

just don`t call him a liar, a coward and a thief (repeatedly) he really doesn`t like it.

They obviously run mods. I can see VesselView, ScanSat, (centre screen) probecontrolroom, (whole room) Mechjeb, KER, (information displays) Infernal Robotics, (shuttle doors) kOS on the right hand screen, EVE...

That's not even in the same genre as KSP, according to its website. It's a turn-based strategy.

The "space program tycoon" aspect seems pretty similar, but it doesn't look like you pilot anything or build anything you designed yourself, so it does seem to be missing the core of KSP gameplay.

Unfortunately, it does not seem anything has ever come of it. I haven't heard any other news about him talking about KSP.

[Edit: I now realize that this thread has been dead for a year. Face-palm.]

Buzz already has his name on a Videogame called "Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager".

Maybe he is tangled up into contract-wise and dont want to get into a lawsuit or something in his old days advertising for another game with a similar Name... but that is just speculation.

I am pretty sure he knows about the game and is happy that the space is getting lots of young peoples attention.

Maybe there is a future astronaut or engineer among us. Who knows :)
