by Jon Manning, Alasdair Allan, Tim Nugent

Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is a critically acclaimed, bestselling space flight simulator game. It’s making waves everywhere from mainstream media to the actual space flight industry, but it has a bit of a learning curve. In this book, five KSP nerds―including an astrophysicist―teach you everything you need to know to get a nation of tiny green people into space. KSP is incredibly realistic. When running your space program, you’ll have to consider delta-V budgets, orbital mechanics, Hohmann transfers, and more. This book is perfect for video game players, simulation game players, Minecrafters, and amateur astronomers.

Helpful. Very helpful.

A very good introduction to the game. Some parts are outdated with the latest version of the game, but most of the book is quite useful and interesting.
