Kerbal Space Program ....the final frontier......

[4 IN 1]

Missed the Apollo program? Now its you chance to recapture the sprite of the challenge (or foolhardy) of sending a man into space and eventurely to take the voyage from the earth to the moon - without killing the lads at the pointy bit of the business end - with this little game.

The game is still in very early beta and are still free to play, the developer said that the beta will remain F2P after the retail version is put on sell, and modding is already possible in current version as well, so if you get tired on shooting up people on the interweb, shooting stickman out into orbit might be a nice change of pace.

here is an article from rock paper shotgun

Great fun, thanks for sharing

This is amazing.

It seems that simple rockets are the best though, my huge creations usually explode around take-off, while my simple 4 stage rocket (Well, 8 stages according to the game, but i added some extra to detach some things at my own pace) is currently over 500000m away from the planet and is slowly decelerating (Currently 1700m/s).

EDIT: Over 700000 now, i am afraid they will never return to their home planet.

Best game ever

Is there a way to unlock more parts for building?

LOVE IT! This is so going on my PC at work.

Its a shame this is so "kiddish". I mean i could actually get into something a bit more serious, like a SIM NASA or something. Have to develop tech and really start from scratch. Try and get from Mercury program right up to whatever you want landing on Mars, FLT travel. Obvisouly the tech would be made up for future stuff, but it would be cool.

All the extra parts you see from videos is from mods, mind you through, these aft-market non-standard parts tent to blow up mid flight(or even before leaving the launch pad )

With that said, the Launch Escape System in one of the mod is the most useful stuff

The farthest ive gotten was around 30,000 feet. Very cool game. This was mentioned already but I too wish it was more serious. Wtf is up with the astronauts? Look like deformed alien things.

Reminds me of Orbiter.

This is orbiter:

They ARE Aliens!!!!

Really, this game are about the fun of building a rocket and shoot stuff up into space, not for switch fliping pressing happy space geek to complain about how unrealistic the flight model is...

This is pretty cool, ive finnaly built a rocket that works.
