My son loves that game. He's 10, and he's created some really neat stuff. Some of it blows up real good, too.

He got to meet Dr. Harrison Schmitt (the only scientist astronaut of the Apollo Program to walk on the Moon) a couple of weeks back. He even mentioned the Kerbal Space Program to the good Dr., and he said, "Good, keep it up!"
