For all who dont know KSP yet, its quite like the Minecraft for space geeks. You can build your own rockets completely from scratch, you can build planes, space stations, surface rovers and whatever your mind makes up. With those you can fool around in your planets atmosphere or go on far fetches explorations deep into space, land on other planets, colonize and explore. Getting working rockets into space is amazing and the game really excels at keeping you pinned on the screen and refining your spacecraft, fine-tuning your course or avoiding that nasty collision with an other planet or rocket in space. Also, gravity is a b*tch ..

You can download the demo and build basic stuff or get the full version for quite cheap and build super sophisticated stuff Go try it and post some pictures of your creations
Well, i fideled around with my probe today and actually managed to get it so far out of orbit with the first stage that i reached Duna with only the ION engine on the probe. Mission time is +90 days, so it took quite a while, but now im 60 kilometers above Duna in a stable orbit enjoying the view with my "New Horizons" probe
Was quite a challange to get there since my probe is 12 tonnes heavy, and the ion engine gives very little thrust. In the end i had to use Duna's moon to brake my approach, otherwise i would've flown past Duna again ..
Next stop, either something on Dunas surface or Laythe since it looks pretty
