KSP mentioned at Star Trek convention

[tg626]

KSP was mentioned in the JPL panel during the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas today.

A member of the audience mentioned it, referencing NASAs asteroid redirect content while asking if more were planned for NASA and ksp or other video games in the interest of involving youth in the space program.

While they had no direct answer for the question, indicating only that they would be in favor of any such collaboration that would engage students in the fields that lead to careers which might be connected to space exploration, at least one of the four member panel spoke as though he knew of, and perhaps even played KSP. He also mentioned an Xbox game, which had players landing on mars, bragging "and I landed it the first time".

The panel included JPLs " Mohawk Guy" still sporting the signature hair which made him an internet star.
