Just FYI to anyone who is interested or has a friend or relative who might be interested, Kerbal Space Program is free on the Epic Games store right now through January 12th at 10AM (don't know the time zone).

Kerbal Space Program is THE game if you are interested in rocketry, realistic space exploration, or watching your delicate vehicles explode on reentry because you forgot to attach a heat shield (while you laugh maniacally because you've spent 12 hours straight trying to land on a moon and then return safely, and by now you've lost all sanity).

Below is the XBOX launch trailer, but the game is originally a PC game and the Epic Games store is on PC as well.


Link to the Epic Games website where you can download the launcher and get the game: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/kerbal-space-program

If that isn't enough to get you to get the game, how about this XKCD comic?

I posted about this in the Kerbal Space Program Tutorial Series - Open Access to 1.7 thread a few weeks ago. There are 34 tutorials in the thread for any noobies like myself. Unfortunately, many of the tutorials have bad links but @Greg Bernhardt has promised to restore them.

As for the expiration on the Epic Games site, the free offer will end Thursday at 11am EST. Also, there is a KSP 2 Early Access version coming out in February.
