It is super hard to land a rocket on a platform in the middle of an ocean. Elon Musk has had to learn that the hard way, and now, you too can experience the crushing disappointment of trying to land the SpaceX Falcon 9 lander, thanks to this game (completely unaffiliated with SpaceX). Yes, it is possible to land it!
Orbits Up

Pilot your spaceship through a galaxy of planets, stars, and danger! Use gravity to your advantage as you correct your course. Keep up on fuel by orbiting planets with fuel stations, and watch out for solar flares and enemy fire! The only goal is up!
