SimpleRockets 2: Shoot for the Moon with this Spaceship Extravaganza

If you've ever been told "It's not rocket science" and thought "But I actually like rocket science," then strap in for SimpleRockets 2.

Want to put a satellite into orbit or plan a mission to Mars? SimpleRockets 2 offers astonishingly versatile tools for designing, launching, and piloting your own virtual spacecraft. Crystal-clear tutorials walk you through assembling your first rocket; pick a command pod, fuel tanks, and engines. You can even experiment with cool gizmos like solar panels and descent parachutes.

Once you've finished your creation, head to the launchpad and start the countdown. Trajectory markers will guide your rocket into orbit, or you can take manual control and do a flyby over the space center. Despite its name, SimpleRockets 2 packs as much complexity as you care to tackle. The only limit to what's possible is your imagination—well, and the laws of physics.
