Back in my day the only way you could play this is by navigating through a horrid Russian website and Russian interface, but now it's English. You should all use it, especially if you want to explore a randomly generated universe with millions of galaxies.
I translated the page back when it was in russian... Great program though, used it for the Earth 4.0 thread in Community Projects.

Oh my god, this looks amazing, if only someone would be nice and purchase it for me...please?
I try to be nice you you people...

EDIT:
been playing the Demo, and i got to +300,000m in 4 minutes.
I'm not sure thats amazing, but it is a record for me.
first 52 times failed at ~200m

The Virgo 1 if your wondering.(used a custom engine i made)

one of my early attempts.
"We were almost in that..."
A solid rocket fuel engine overheated and died up there with hundreds of gallons of liquid fuel.

$23?

That's a bit of money for an alpha state game, I believe not to long ago it was less than this?

It has no major bugs and could be considered a full game at this stage.

KSP is worth $30. Great game, I'll be playing it tonight in fact.

did this game just get unpopular overnight?
Nah, more the Christmas sale is diverting our attention, plus the holidays in general.

Any feed back on what i did with the Virgo 1?
also, I made a rocket 100x more effective, the Armstrong 1 (7 stage rocket)
EDIT:
can someone upload a demo compatible version of a plane mod?

Bump.

I'm proud of the Van Braun, though the initial target was the Mun....
It established a roughly stable orbit around Kerbol(the star that Kerbal orbits).

All of my rockets just to simply get into ORBIT and friggin' huge, most of them are tall as the launch tower.

was fun

Demo:

Full:
same, and Space Port.

Cutom parts FTW.

Played the game with no prior knowledge or help for about an hour and I now have a good orbit around Kerben.

Learning the controls were a bitch, and until I found out about SAS, I wanted to cry

so much this.
EDIT:
I always overshoot when trying to land on the Mun, can't seem to get it right.
though i just figured out the map feature!
how do i, if i can, set the SAS/ADVSAS to take me to the Mun?

Care to use metric measurements?
