Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program, otherwise known as KSP, is a space craft building and launching simulator. It incorporates elements of learning design, physics, and orbital mechanics. While it does simplify some of these elements it is a very educational and entertaining game. 

And while it might sound dry there is nothing quite like watching a massive explosion when your rocket crashes due to a mis-build. Imagine the thrill of successfully docking two space ships in orbit that you built and launched.

The game can be found on steam or from the game company's website at:
