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.
HOWEVER, you can pretty much fly a plane using MS Flight Sim.
And, you can use a backhoe being trained on a simulator.
Astronauts, are trained on simulators.
So, yeah... playing video games doesn't make you what you're playing... but achieving high marks on a simulator, means you will probably plop your butt in the seat and do as well as any beginner.
