Rocket Simulator allows you to launch a rocket into space and view various objects currently in Earth orbit. Currently you have the option of launching 4 rocket models and visit 6 objects in space, such as the Hubble Telescope, International Space Station and Kepler. I originally wrote this game for my 19 month old son to teach him about rockets & space flight. He was easily able to learn how to launch a rocket and control the camera within a few minutes. Although the controls are extremely simple even for a kid, adults that like rockets & space explorations will find plenty of enjoyment in this simple yet fun space simulator.
