The makers of KerbalEdu want to inspire a new generation of space engineers and astronauts.
Launching today, the project is actually a modification of Kerbal Space Program, a popular space agency simulation. In KSP, players can build realistic rocket ships, fly them, and explore outer space. KerbalEDU takes this potential educational value further by introducing the metric system and other systems to aid data comparison, modifying the user interface to include data collection and analyzer tools, and incorporating teachable lessons.
