Kerbal Space Program

Second only to working at Space X

Kerbal Space Program launched on May 11, 2015 with 81 votes, #630 of 3,670 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Kerbal Space Program is a space exploration simulation where players assemble spacecraft from individual parts and launch them based on realistic physics and aerodynamics. Users guide their Kerbal crew to orbit, land on moons and planets, and construct bases and stations throughout the Kerbul solar system. The game emphasizes problem-solving through trial and error, with community forums and mods extending gameplay possibilities. It appeals to space enthusiasts and simulation fans seeking a challenging sandbox experience.

From the sources

You have access to an array of parts to assemble fully-functional spacecraft that flies (or doesn’t) based on realistic aerodynamic and orbital physics. Launch your Kerbal crew into orbit and beyond (while keeping them alive) to explore moons and planets in the Kerbol solar system. Construct bases and space stations to expand the reach of your expedition. Chat with other Kerbal Space Program players and keep up with the latest news about community-developed mods in the official Kerbal Space Program forum.

    I (17y/o) have been developing a rocket launch simulation that allows the user to explore what it's like launching a rocket from earth and putting it into orbit. This idea originally started as an educational simulation but as i've gone more down the rabbit hole the more i've wanted to make it realistic. The problem is that I've never had a formal orbital mechanics class or anything like that so I don't know what I'm missing, what I currently have implemented is: Variable gravity Variable Atmospheric drag (US Standard Atmosphere 1976) Multi-stage rockets Closed-loop guidance /…
