Has anyone else had a play with this before?
I was recommended it by a friend (free demo here) and basically it's a rocketry simulator. You build rockets out of various parts available (limited in the demo), and set yourself a goal, like a trip to the ''moon''. So far, I've only managed to escape the ''Earth's'' atmosphere, and land safely. My next challenge is to see if I can get something to stay up in orbit.
It seems to me like a game which is easy to pick up to begin with (I only started playing last night), but could take very, very long to master, as detailed planning and calculations seem to be necessary for big projects. The demo allows you to build and fly one rocket at a time, but the full version seems to allow space ports, colonies on other planets, satellites, basically whatever you can dream up.
