If you landed on this page looking for something awesome, you won´t be left disappointed.Or maybe you searched for "kerbel space program" and found this page, I have made the same mistake, the game is actually called kerbal space program, with an a not with an e.If you wish to download kerbel space program, or kerbal space program, same game, just scroll down and there´s a link to the original page, where you can download it for windows.However, between this text and the download link there is much useful info, including how to get extra parts for kerbel space program, or how to get extra parts for kerbal space program.

Kerbal Space Program is a fun little rocket-building game.The objective of the game is to design your very own rocket and get your astronauts as high in the space as possible.You have many parts available for you to do it.The game sounds fantastic in concept and it is, it is also free to play for everyone.

Now to make things clearer.In Kerbal Space Program, the player has to build a space-worthy spacecraft, which is capable of flying it´s crew out into space, also, the crew must survive.To do that the player has got a collection of different parts, which can be used to make a effective ship.Actually there are different packs available to download extra parts, I will disclose that topic later on in this article.

When the ship is ready to launch, the physics-based flight simulation ensures that everything will fly(and crash of course) as it should, of course it isn't perfect, so no need commenting about that.The Kerbal Planet, the home planet of your astronauts has a radius of 600km, so it is huge.

When the countdown has reached 0 and you have launched your awesome spaceship it is wise to keep your eye on ship systems, engines can and will overheat, you can adjust the throttle by powering it up and pressing shift or pressing ctrl and powering it down.You can control the sip with W,A,S and D for directions, keep your ship straight and not spinning around or else you might crash.To start your engine and switch between stages use the button space.

This is the Vehicle Assembly Building, this is where the player can build spacehips.On the picutre is a small and modest spaceship that I built.

Building a spaceship.Since the game is a project in development, it doesn´t have many parts when you download the game,it has less than can be seen on the picture above.However, you can download extra parts.You can do this from here and here.And the game itself can be downloaded at the bottom of the article.If you have downloaded the files, extract in "parts" file and you will now have more parts to build your very own spaceship.If you have build your very own spaceship and think that it is the ultimate spaceship, take a picture, put it up somewhere and post the link to the comments and I will add it to this article below comments for everyone to see, how great of a designer you are.It would be great if you also posted, how high did you get with that spaceship.With the spaceship above I got a bit higher than 800 000 meters.

Since the game is still in its alpha stage, it does have some bugs and flaws.But I think noone will argue that this game has truly got a lot of potential and the makers of the game seem to be very innovative and talented.Just to give you an idea what is probably coming:


"Take on Missions to attract interest in your Space Program.
Or use the Mission Planner to create your own missions.
Manage your Space Program. Hire astronauts, train them, research and improve parts.
Fly out to Moons and other Planets, Build Space Stations, and surface bases on other worlds. "

The source and some extra information can be found through this link.

Get Kerbal Space Program from here.

As you may notice while playing the game, there are three brave astronauts, thery are Bill Kerman, Jebediah Kerman and Bob Kerman.Throughout the game you´ll probably discover that the middle astonaout Jebediah frankly doesn´t give a .....He just isn´t scared of anything, while the other two are screaming for their lives, he just enjoys the ride.A comic about the same guy can be found below.

Jebediah just doesnt give a s...
