I'm only on the demo still and it's a real time sink.
The full game allows you to make rockets, shuttles, satellites, spacestations and landing modules. Next up for me, interstellar space.
And yes, I realise that I am a massive geek.

So I got a PS4 the other day and then yesterday I downloaded a GBA emulator to my phone and a rom for Zelda: A Link To The Past. Guess which one I've put more hours in to...

Watched a few of the videos by the guy whose youtube link you posted, and there's some awesome looking stuff in the full game I think I will shell out for. It's pretty amazing how in depth it is.

Yeah I found the tutorial after crashing my 4th rocket! What a great game. I've managed to get into space and back, but haven't managed a proper orbit yet, the space burns are really hard to pull off. I think I'll have to watch that part of the tutorial again.

The 'add maneuver' function is really useful. Got two poor souls trapped up in orbit with no fuel or power left, but having learnt from my mistakes I'm gonna try for a moon orbit and return. I generally try and do one 'serious' mission then go and build me the stupidest rocket I can. Keeps me happy.

Unless you get the staging wrong and de-couple your fuel tanks and fire the parachute whilst still sat on the launchpad

Can you put words on the side of the rocket, so you can read it as it launches? P I G S I N S P A C E

Mine have a tendency to turn out that way purely by accident. The subconscious is a wonderful thing... Can you put words on the side of the rocket, so you can read it as it launches?
Not yet, but as the game isn't in full v1 release yet (think the most up to date is 0.22), it's getting patched and better constantly. Wouldn't be surprised to see it happen. Might start a sub-topic, it's one of those slow-burner games (pardon the pun) that generally requires a bit of conversation.

Found a plug-in last night that will automatically launch and get you into orbit. Definitely going to give that a try!
