Wow. I just went to check my steam purchase history, and it appears that I have been playing #kerbalspaceprogram for nearly 5 years now...with 417 hours on it, that's 15 minutes a day lol.
I remember how I found out about it...one of my schoolteachers back in primary school would show us videos from https://thekidshouldseethis.com, a kind of curation of science videos for kids, and I would sometimes go on there in my own time. This was around about grade 3. One time, I found this link: https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/how-do-rockets-work , basically talking about rocket basics. At that point, I new all about it and was a well and true rocket nerd, but I have never heard of KSP before. So I went and checked it out. After a while, I nagged my mum to buy it, and she ended up doing so. Not sure how much it cost at the time, but certainly less then now. Funnily enough, that was also my first ever game purchase and first time using steam...which even introduced me to a loose consideration of social media through various random group chats from my friends.
