Watching the Artemis II launch, I now have a much larger understanding of space travel because of KSP lol. To see all the concepts in the game translate somewhat to real life is amazing. I wish they made the 2nd game better. Incorporate more futuristic concepts like black holes, intersolar system travel, larger base making.

800+ hours without mods. This game will teach you things. It will give you a sense of awe. And there is nothing quite like landing a mission on another planet for the first time. If you don't buy it for yourself, then buy it for a young person who might discovery they are smart enough to be a rocket scientist.
