So nice, I've now backed it twice.

Thought about getting the upgrade kit, but may as well get a full set for a bit more.  It's nice to have upgrade kit options, but the prices just make me wonder why I don't get a full new game and just sell off the old one at some point.

Heads up: The pre-order price at their website gives you a much worse deal on pricing compared to making a late pledge via the pledgemanager.

The base game looks pretty involved. I've decided to pass on the expansion modules at this point. Has anyone played the 'Terawatt & Futures' and/or 'Colonization' modules and have an opinion on their value?

I'm going to ask a dumb question: I'm a sucker for space exploration games.  In terms of playability, how is this compare to Kerbal?  It does look incredibly involved, so I'm not sure I would ever play it, as compared to a game of Kerbal of BASPM.

You're gonna have an easier time playing anything akin to this as a computer game.  Especially when you're learning.  It's got quite a learning curve, being a rather unique tabletop game.

That said, this tabletop game is different than KSP.  Even though it covers a similar subject, it's approach isn't the same.
