It seems that my original thread was lost to the sands of time, so I'll post one up again.
Anyways... This is an in-development space sim! It's a wide open sandbox at the moment, but the intention is to simulate running your own space program, and all the rocket-building and flying that goes with it... organising the stages your rockets operate through, getting off the ground, getting into orbit, tracking your spacecraft, orbiting and landing on celestial bodies, that sort of thing.
It's pretty much simulator-grade realistic in terms of actually simulating the dynamics and mechanics of spacecraft and planets/moons/stars/etc., but it injects a bit of cartoonish fun to make it very approachable and enjoyable in my view.

So has anyone else tried this? Anyone else enjoy playing it, or enjoyed it enough to purchase the (in-progress) full version?
