Just added to steam, still in alpha, price went up $10 once it got to steam but dam, this is a fun sandbox type game where you try and launch a rocket or plane style shuttle into space. Im still novice, but some have been able to launch space stations in constant orbit... i did slam into the mun on yesterday though

ETA: game is still in alpha with updates pretty regularly

this game is really, really cool.

You feel fricking AWESOME after a successful mun landing and safe return without using any mods or landing tools. I'd recommend doing it once and "earning" the right to use the landing tools (which make the game too easy imo)

Their forum community suggests this as well, like I said, I've gotten to the mun but couldn't successfully land it, parachutes and space ya know

The road to a successful mun landing is paved with dead kerbals and broken spaceship parts.

there are add-ons, but it is recommended to try and get there on your own before using an add-on.... i havent been able to land on the mun, i have crashed into it like 3 times now though

there are some pre-made rockets in the load screen, try those out to see how they are staged and setup with the center of gravity,mass,and thrust then try to copy it into your own

cheat. Edit the files to give you 3284728937429 fuel in one fuel tank if you're having too much trouble. I landed legit once then started messing with the files so I could fly around the solar system with a rinky dink ship.

hover over their avatar and it will give you the option to let them space walk and you can move, i believe spacebar lets go and F key grabs on and opens doors

Just discovered this game and been watching some guys gameplay on youtube. Flying to different planets, the moon and just a bunch of other stuff. Definitely going to buy it here in the near future. One thing I think is really cool is the ability to go rescue people and go visit monuments or objects other missions have left behind.

He landed some people on the moon but they ran out of fuel so they were stranded. He created a robot to go rescue them and crashed it about 200 meters from where the astronauts were. I damn near pissed my pants when it happened.

Also, he sent a mission to the sun, ran out of fuel and was forced to abandon his astronauts to float in space forever. The 3 little astronauts on the bottom right were freaking out.
