Graphics look a bit mickey mouse but its got proper physics, making it really interesting and fiendishly difficult. The idea is you build rockets (or space planes) and explore the solar system.

After a few launch launch failures I managed some sub orbital flights, and have now managed to get 2 capsules in to the same orbit. Once I've worked out how to get them to dock I plan to have a go at some moon shots with the intent of doing an Apollo style mission.

There's loads of tutorial videos on Youtube, including some from people claiming to be astrophysicists. The lack of any const constraint simplifies things at the moment but apparently they plan to bring in a financial aspect at some point
