If you want to learn rocket science intuition...

...Kerbal Space Program is half off on the Steam Summer Sale.

 

I just got it. I know that Scott Manly is one of the best tutorial sources for it on YouTube.

 

Anybody have other suggestions?

Thanks. I really need another distraction like a need a hole in the head. But I went ahead and performed steam-powered © trepanning anyway

 

Looks like a brilliant time-waster and good fun. I am reading Neal Stephenson's Seveneves at the moment so fired up with rocketry and space exploration already.

Surprisingly, Jebediah Kermin survived all of my rockets so far. I still haven't looked at any tutorials, but I think I will soon.

 

 

I'm playing through the career mode before I go into sandbox mode.

Doing the in-game tutorials. Also spending too much time trying to get my oldish pc to dual boot Win10 & Ubuntu. My laptop is melting trying to run Ksp on win10

I didn't see this at the time but I must have bought it at about the same time...

I did my first Minmus landing two days ago. I have a rover on Mun and have done several landings including a very unfortunate unkerbined lander where the engine just touched the deck causing it to explode. It survives though and is a useful relay for just the other side. The only other thing I currently have going on is a Minmus relay satellite which is stage one for my "step to space" station which will offer refueling before leaving the kerbin system...

Have a look at running ksp in 64 bit mode. Apparently it doesn't by default...

Thanks will try that.
