Try the demo.

I may, but before spending valuable gaming time on anything I wanted an idea of what it was. I may give it a shot. Thanks for the answers

One very cool thing is there is a ton of extra content made by folks for this game. Tons of new parts and even some very cool control systems and effects. It's fun to build crazy looking rockets and see if you can get them into space. You can also build planes and space planes (SSTO) . Also get the radio chatter add-on. It add to the atmosphere of the game.

Great video, thanks for posting!  I think Squad should use it as an ad for KSP...

Ok. I bought it. So I have to questions: what do you use to control it? Joystick or mouse?
Second, what mods do I need? I know one made it easier to control or something?

A keyboard and mouse will probably suffice.

I couldn't make heads or tails of the game until I spent some time with some video tutorials. I need to see more, but after one or two you'll have the basics.

Keyboard and mouse have worked just fine for me, although you can use a joystick if you're so inclined.

Good point. I haven't played around with the plane development. A joystick might be just what you need for that.

I'm enjoying the Game a lot. Unfortunately, several kerbals have died in horrible fire balls or been left floating in orbit without enough fuel to initiate decent.

Question...I finally put kerbals in orbit and brought them down safely. What next? Satellite? What does it do? Why do I want one?

Edit: I see mapping satellites...so why should I map? Is it simply role play?

I haven't gotten that far. I've launched Kerbals into space, but gravity has always pulled them back down. Fortunately we packed a chute so they've all landed safely. No one has (yet) been stranded in orbit, but I'm working on that.

Mapping can locate anomalies on the surface.  These anomalies can then be explored.

The one thing that still puzzles me about this game is the dev's design decision to build it around the cartoony / Pixar-y Kerbals, rather than just, I dunno, regular ol' humans? 

I just find it a little jarring, the disconnect between the 'seriousness' -- or realism, maybe -- of the subject matter -- build a successful space program -- and the cartoony Kerbals.  I suppose the point is to lessen the horror of launch catastrophes... it would be a lot more queasy-making if you felt these were 'real' astronauts burning up on reentry.  It's pretty gut-wrenching to see footage of the Challenger and Columbia disasters, after all.

Anyway, it's the one thing that has kept me from looking into KSP more seriously.  But given all the rave reviews, it appears I've misjudged it (...wouldn't be the first time...)

Yeah, my guess is so that you can enjoy it more when things are blowing up.

Ok, so for satellites, there is no reason to orbit one on Kerban right? Since I don't explore my own planet.

Incorrect.  There are anomalies on Kerbin, as well.  Didn't you read the press release?
