My 8 year old son broke away from Minecraft today
My 8 year old son broke away from Minecraft today. He sat on my lap while we made a rocket. He asked questions about rockets. We made it into space and he asked, "Are we in space?" We came down and the friction caused our heat shield to glow. His eyes were wide open as we slowed down. We pressed the space bar to deploy our parachutes but were going too fast and our chutes failed. We crashed and he asked if the kerbal was OK. I said yes as I hit ESC and went back to the VAB and changed a few things. A few minutes later, we landed our capsule safely and he had the biggest smile on his face. I haven't heard a word about Minecraft since! Thank you for making this wonderful game!!!

"See that little grey circle in the night sky, impossibly far away?
"See that little grey circle in the night sky, impossibly far away? You can go there." >Spend the next few hours building and testing rockets, trying to get one into orbit. Laugh at all the explosions, and the ever-increasing body count. Realize you have no idea how orbital mechanics work. >Research how actual rockets achieve an orbit, maybe watch a Youtube video. Maybe take a step back and spend a few hundred hours just exploring your home planet with a plane or rover. >Get into orbit. Realize you have no idea how to get to the moon. Research a whole different type of orbital mechanics. >Get to the moon. Realize parachutes don't work. >Land on the moon, more-or-less in one piece. Realize there's another moon, a bunch of other planets, asteroids that you can capture and bring into orbit, resources that you can harvest into rocket-fuel on the surface of other planets, AND an amazing modding scene that can infinitely more gameplay. 999/10 - Would plunge helpless green astronauts into the sun again.

This is the greatest game I will never play
This is the greatest game I will never play. My son was 12 when it came out & he was immediately entranced, putting thousands of hours into the game. It became so much a part of his life, that when it came time for him to become a camp counselor at Camp Sealth outside of Seattle, he chose to be known as "Kerbal" (the counselors weren't allowed to use their own names around the kids). At the age of 20, my son was last on Steam 681 days ago - August 16, 2023. Ten days later he would be killed in a freak car accident while away at college, and I miss him every day. But this game gave him so much joy, so much excitement that I will always be in debt to the developers. Thank you. Thank you all for your support: I didn't think anyone would still be looking at the reviews for this game - I just want to show my appreciation to the dev team. Unfortunately, this is not a fake review: Sage Phoenix Corlett Waters (2/3/03-8/26/23) aka xxPapaStalinxx on steam, last online 680something days ago. I miss him every second of the day
