      KSP is great fun and works well for what it is. The real thing though is far more complex.
      KSP uses patched conic physics instead of actual N-Body physics.
      This is so the game can actually run and still be enjoyable to the masses.
      If actual physics were used you'd have Lagrange points, orbit destabilisation and deterioration, and lots of headaches.
      Though, it would make certain more advance maneuvers possible.

      @BenyAU at least orbits are elliptical there. Spaceflight Simulator uses circular orbits, but the next update it's gonna be more realistic.
      For earth with an eccentricity of 0.016 who cares. But for Mars with eccentricity of 0.09 that a problem.

    It took me 30 missions to master my first moon landing and return... another 15 missions to figure out how to get to mars orbit... then another 5 fails at least to get a rover down successfully. So if this guy is playing this for his first time and managed to do all of this without help... I am more than impressed.

    I told my high school astronomy teacher about this game back when it was still fairly new, the next day he was playing it on his computer before class started and pretty much every day after that. My little brother is in high school now and that according to him that teacher still plays it all the time
