How Kerbal Space Program Works

You start off with a set of run down buildings, some basic rocket parts and a handful of cash. You then attempt to complete these missions using the primitive parts you start with to gain more cash and research points. Using the research points you can access more powerful and technologically advanced components to complete more complex missions.

The game has a steep learning curve as players must get their head around the rocket science. Many players will find themselves researching the real life physics of rocketry to get ahead in the game which is ultra realistic. Spending hours upon hours trying to land a craft you designed and built is the idea of a dream to some and a nightmare to others.

The game has a large modding community, the game is a perfect base for all sorts of modded versions.
