Recommendation for the Game Kerbal Space Program

I recommend the game Kerbal Space Program - a realistic simulator for designing rockets and launching them into space.

🚀 Against the backdrop of growing interest in space, I highly recommend the game Kerbal Space Program.

This is a realistic simulator where you design rockets and launch them into space. All the physics is real - orbital mechanics, gravity assists, multi-stage rockets. Want to understand why Artemis II is such a complex endeavor? Try to replicate it yourself with little green men.

After playing, you start to grasp what delta-v is, why gravity assists are necessary, and why rockets are so massive. The best way to learn the basics of astronautics is through your own disasters on the launch pad.

Fly to the Moon, not at each other.
