Kerbal Space Program, Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love THRUSTERRRSSSS

[blockguy123]

I'm playing the demo, I only have stuffty parts, and the planet Mun (well, and Kerbal).

Mun isnt a planet

Mun is a moon

Silly me. Also, I didn't save my craft and I don't seem to be able to make a rocket that gets into orbit again :|

demo is realllllyyy outdated

No it isn't. Its parts and all that are up to date, but it is missing features like the large parts and other planets.

I've been watching a bunch of videos of this now (Chickenkeeper24 has a let's play) and it seems really fun.
I really want it but I have some questions before I buy it.

• What are the weird colorful icons that you can make circles around moons and stuff? What do they do?
• Does the game reward you in any way when you reach certian places? Like, do you get money when you get to the mun?
• Is it even possible to reach other planets, or is that something only hardcore mlg pros do?
• Is it worth it to do rescue missions for stranded astronauts or could you just reset them instead?
• Can you put stuff like space stations in orbit and they'll always be there?
• I don't think it does, but just to be sure, does stuff ever despawn?

Not that a thing of these by itself will stop me from getting the game, but I just want to be sure of what I'm really buying.

EDIT: Are the controls weird or feel bad?

[HellHound]

The controls are excellent.
I'm not sure what you mean by "weird colorful icons"
No, money has not been implemented yet.
Yes.
Only if you want to.
Yes.
Yes, but only stuff like debris.

Oh, cool. Definitely getting it later.

I kinda get it.


I hope you guys like answering questions.

Is it possible to make ships/planes like star wars ships? (x-wing, milennium falcon, etc.) or realistic spacecrafts?

not really..

[HellHound]

It's more like real space ships.

[blockguy123]

It's more like real space ships.

With a huge community. And lots of mods.

I missed my burn due to me forgetting to decouple some empty boosters before firing. I am now doomed to crash my space station into the ocean.
forget.

first time on moon

wonder if ill have enough fuel to reach kerbin again

update; i had enough fuel, but when i reached the gravity point of kerbin, it put me into orbit around kerbin, and i didnt have enough fuel to leave kerbin orbit
rip jebediah kerman who died of thirst and hunger orbiting around kerbin

[Paradon]

I got a successful orbit (or whatever you call it) in the demo. c:


I got an orbit earlier but that was all forgeted up and went really far away from the planet on one side. (and then I tried to go to the moon but ran out of fuel)
