Any of my tweeps have experience with Kerbal Space Program?
Seems to be a lot of fun, it also seems to be teaching you (at a very basic level) to be a rocket scientist.
Anyone know how “relatable” that teaching is to the real world?
Curious.

Replying to @SteveDaly15
As someone indoctrinated into the game by
@DJSnM, I strongly agree that it is an excellent game for building intuitions about kinematics, orbital mechanics, spatial curvature. There is even a mod (Principia) that teaches n body mechanics and chaotic dynamics to advanced players.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
As for rocket science, you'll come away with a decent understanding of the rocket equation, delta v calculations, specific impulse and thrust to weight ratios. You will also recognize the major components and technologies used in the American and Soviet space programmes.
