Its kinda shocking how many stupid people play this video game and assume that makes them some sort of astro-physics guru.
Its kinda shocking how many people use Kerbal as an argument for why they think they understand rocket science.
Playing Mario Bros won’t make you a master plumber, and playing Kerbal won’t make you an astronaut.
I’m sure I’ll be cited as the example of the person claiming KSP proves the existence of orbital mechanics.
For the record, no hard feelings. We all agree there’s an evil cabal intent on destroying the world and we all want to stop it. Let’s meet there and stay frens.
And, I know that program probably dumbs down some things to make the whole thing more playable. But the concepts of gravity, orbit, thrust, that’s all there. And it works. And it makes logical sense.
The planets orbit the sun. The sun orbits the galactic core. Everything you see in the sky is spherical because gravity turns any liquid gaseous material into a sphere.
The Earth is not a disc. Nothing makes sense (to me) that way.
Love to all. Peace.
