<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is a critically acclaimed, bestselling space flight simulator game. It's making waves everywhere from mainstream media to the actual space flight industry, but it has a bit of a learning curve. In this book, five KSP nerds--including an astrophysicist--teach you everything you need to know to get a nation of tiny green people into space.</p><p>KSP is incredibly realistic. When running your space program, you'll have to consider delta-V budgets, orbital mechanics, Hohmann transfers, and more. This book is perfect for video game players, simulation game players, Minecrafters, and amateur astronomers.</p><ul><li>Design, launch, and fly interplanetary rockets</li><li>Capture an asteroid and fly it into a parking orbit</li><li>Travel to distant planets and plant a flag</li><li>Build a moon rover, and jump off a crater ridge</li><li>Rescue a crew-mate trapped in deep space</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Jon Manning is a world renown iOS development trainer and writer, game designer and mobile software engineering wizard.<br/><br/>He has co-authored two books on mobile development and enjoys re-implementing such things as OpenGL and the Objective-C runtime (in his spare time).<br/><br/>Jon is also a researcher in Human-Computer Interaction working towards a PhD.</p><p>Tim Nugent pretends to be a mobile app developer, game designer, PhD student, and now he even pretends to be an author. When he isn't busy avoiding being found out as a fraud, he spends most of his time designing and creating little apps and games he won't let anyone see.
