About
Kerbal Space Program for PC is a space flight simulation game that uses realistic physics engines and precise engineering formulations that make it tricky to launch a successful rocket, but that make it exceedingly rewarding when you apply real life theoretical formulae to your design and see it work exactly as planned.
So well designed is the game that people who work in the space industry, such as space giants, NASA, have shown an interest in its development.

Description
Kerbal Space Program for PC is a space flight simulation game that uses realistic physics engines and precise engineering formulations that make it tricky to launch a successful rocket, but that make it exceedingly rewarding when you apply real life theoretical formulae to your design and see it work exactly as planned.
So well designed is the game that people who work in the space industry, such as space giants, NASA, have shown an interest in its development.
Set on an imaginary planet called Kerbin, cartoonish aliens, Kerbals, have shown a wonderful proficiency at spacecraft design and interplanetary flight. Players work with their Kerbals to design a working rocket, rover, aircraft or spaceplane using the set number of components.
Once the vehicle is complete, you can begin testing it, starting with a launch. Launching will go wrong for the slightest error in your design and calculations: you can fail to break free of the atmosphere, have too heavy a rocket or too explosive a design, or it can all work perfectly: except you run out of fuel before you can make a safe landing and have to watch all your hard work spiral remorselessly to smash itself on the ground.
Because of the difficulty in getting the science right, simply achieving what in most other games is just the beginning, before the ‘real’ adventure can start, that is to say, a successful landing in your newly built spaceship, can feel like a real achievement. As, in fact, it is!
The whole premise of the game is building and flying spaceships and rockets into space, but this simple description belies the vast expenditure of effort that goes into getting everything just right.
If this all sounds a bit alarming, don’t panic: there is an extensive tutorial that has been expanded and improved since the game’s initial release that will get you going on the first baby steps towards rocket building. The tutorial doesn’t exactly make the game easy, it just eases you on your way!
Sandbox: With an unlimited budget, full access to all the ship parts and a vehicle assembly building in which you click to select a part, and click again to place it where you want it. Repeat until you think your rocket (or other vehicle of your choice) is complete and then click launch to test it out. From there, the world is your oyster: you can explore nearby moons, distant planets or head back to the lab to build another experimental rocket ship!
Science: With this mode, you are limited as to budget and resources, and must develop your skills while being restricted and restrained. It is a fun way to test your ingenuity: seeing how to create the biggest, best, most functional rocket that you can without going over your budget and managing your time to conduct the experiments that earn you science credit and enable your budget and resources to be expanded a little more
Career: This is more of a role playing version of the game in which you must manage not only the science but your employees and overheads too. You must complete contracts (like missions) in order to earn reputation points. Having a good reputation will bring you some money and even more contracts. As you work through the contracts, you cannot ignore the building which needs upgrades – completing these will get you more work, and so on

This is one good game and if you like space, rockets or anything similar u will enjoy this game.You can build almost anything and just hope it will lift off. There are so many planets to visit that I am sure you wont get bored playing this game. At the beginning it will be hard but once u understand how the game works the only limitation will be your imagination. I have spent more time playing this game then I expected.

Damm it made me realize of how hard space things are!
Really cool space sim, it lets you build orbital bases, fly the strangest planes you've ever imagined, and basically put a rocket onto anything.
As a person who loves building, this can consume tons of hours of your time just playing around with stuff and seeing how it blows up!
PS: Also the Kerbals are very funny creatures, they remember me to the minions (From Gru).

- Accurate space simulation, nice solar system
- Nice and funny characters
- Don't need a degree in physics/engineering to have fun
- Educational
- Enough parts to make almost anyhting
- Lacks multiplayer
- Has no N-Body simulation (No lagrange points!)
- Sometimes things seem made out of rubber

Très bon jeu malgres la complexité, mais dans l’ensemble ça reste correcte.
Il faut jouer de longue heure avant de bien comprendre chaque élément et de savoir bien gérer les vaisseau/avion.
Conclusion: Un jeu pas chère que je conseil si vous êtes passionné d'espace.

Very little to no aerospace knowledge but this game is a lot of fun. Easy enough to get going but very difficult but when you accomplish a feat, it is sooo satisfying! The game runs very smoothly which is important. I find myself learning a lot.
- Career mode gives you a challenge to complete various tasks/missions.
- Sandbox mode lets you play around with everything unlocked.
- Good, fun introduction for people with little to no knowledge of space/rocketry/physics.
- Every little accomplishment is extremely satisfying.
- Game runs very smoothly.
- Graphics are a bit dull.
- Challenging.
- Many things you're left to figure out how to do/find yourself.

Great Game, must have for even just the fun factor! Kerbal was always a serious builder but it has a lot of fun elements to it as well. You can invent the weirdest looking thing ever. just think Minecraft meets Physics with rockets!
- Just Blind Fun
- You can invent anything you like.
- Takes time to get used to the interface

Awesome awesome awesome space exploration game! Feeling techy and into rockets but don't want to ride that doomsday device yourself? Get a Kerbal to take that 1 way ticket for you. All you need is some good imagination some luck and a few crates of ducttape.
- Kerbals in outer space!
- Fun game to do.
- Can be tedious at times (longer flights with no inflight entertainment..)
