For instance many spaceX fans have tested new designs beefore they are launched after they are designed + announced. One such example is the new &quot;Starship&quot; in this video by &quot;Everyday Astronaut&quot; being flown to the Games&#039; version of Mars called &quot;Duna&quot; in this reccorded livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRBC08u8S20&amp;t=8s<br /> *The game is often abrreviated as KSP<br /> *The game is solar system scale, and it is slightly smaller with weaker gravity to allow for easier and more fun gameplay (shorter rocket burns etc), although some mods change this<br /> *There is also the feature of time acceleration to allow the user to essentially fast foreward time for things like long burns, and long gaps in between burns<br /> *It also supports HOTAS Setups and FPV Flying<br /> <br /> =Steam Page=<br /> *https://store.steampowered.com/app/220200/Kerbal_Space_Program/<br /> <br /> =People who play it well as well as educate well=<br /> ==Scott Manley==<br /> *Scott Manley (born 31 December 1972) is a Scottish YouTube personality, gamer, programmer, astrophysicist and DJ.[<br /> *[https://www.youtube.com/user/szyzyg Youtube Channel]<br /> <br /> =Everyday Astronaut=<br /> *A youtuber who educates about space in a down to earth way<br /> *Covers many launches live<br /> *Loves SpaceX<br /> *[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6uKrU_WqJ1R2HMTY3LIx5Q Youtube Channel]<br /> *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G36PEK4qj4 Introductory Video/Orgin Story]<br /> <br /> =See Also=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =Useful Links=<br /> *[https://store.steampowered.com/app/220200/Kerbal_Space_Program/ The Steam Page for KSP]<br /> *[https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com Their Main Website]</div>
