This allows them to save time, money, and manpower while possibly having a little fun with “rocket science” too. In essence, they can do a rough test of the many strange ideas that never quite make it off the ‘sketch on a napkin’.
He (Doug Ellison) notes that many at NASA use KSP to experiment in ways that their more unforgiving real-world environment wouldn’t allow them to do. “But we probably fall short when it comes to engaging in a way that could be considered ‘play.’ We share what we do, but it’s hard to let the public … ride along on our adventure.” Doug Ellison, who works at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, thinks KSP fills a crucial gap in communicating the science in a playful simulation context. Kerbal Space Program has spread beyond the gaming community. Some people at NASA are using Kerbal Space Program to experiment in ways that real-world environments wouldn’t allow.
