It's making waves everywhere from mainstream media to the actual space flight industry, but it has a bit of a learning curve.

KSP is incredibly realistic. When running your space program, you'll have to consider delta-V budgets, orbital mechanics, Hohmann transfers, and more. This book is perfect for video game players, simulation game players, Minecrafters, and amateur astronomers.
