How KSP helped me become an aerospace engineer
Adding vertices to fairings adds lag to KSP, so this is PUNISHINGLY laggy. But I was/am working on a replica of the canceled Japanese "Fuji" space capsule system. 100% stock parts.

told my crew to send a space station to Dres. They were more successful than anticipated
Good News Everyone : Scientist assignment to the space lab is no longer a forever job ! Taxi shuttle to easily replace crew on the Mun station !
i just wanted to go to minmus

When KSP becomes WT
Yes, it DID explode on touchdown... Working on a Starship-inspired reusable booster using both DLCs. Diameter is ~5.5 meters, so 5-meter payloads will fit comfortably. (29 seconds)

How It feels to land on Duna safely?
Separation!
My first thing landing on another planet in career mode: Eve's little science droid!
This is why I use quicksaves...

My First Mun Landing (Had to add the landing music from “First Man”)
Me, after crashing the lander on Munar surface...
First Asteroid! Loving this game
Trust me, I'm a engineer
It's nothing too big but I made my first (functional) prop plane. Proud of it, apart from the landing.
First Space Station + I did it in Career mode!

How KSP helped me become an aerospace engineer

Today I started my new job and I thought it's a good time to share my story.

In 2013 I finished school. 3 days before the final exams I discovered the KSP demo and spent... more time on it than I should have. After wasting a significant amount of time (including rendesvouz in less than 3 hours and a moon flyby) I uninstalled it and decided to reward myself with the full game afterwards. I completed it and started studying physics. I wasn't too motivated to study. A lot of topics were interesting, especially astronomy of course. Other topics such as theoretical physics I just couldn't get excited about and my grades were bad accordingly.

On the other hand, by that time I was deep down the KSP rabbit hole. Eventually it made me lightbulb: I wanna try engineering. So I moved and switched to an aerospace computer science program in a different town. Suddenly I was hooked. I learned programming, robotics, control engineering. My grades were a lot better. I had the most fun preparing any sort of vehicles to perform tasks.

I stayed at the same university for a successive master's program more focused on the space sector, but I kept focusing on control engineering. For my thesis I investigated the lanidng of rocket stages using machine learning. I kept playing KSP over the years on and off, with as many mods as my machine could handle.

I recently completed my master's program and today was my first workday at my first full time job. I will develop the ADCS of a new 6u chonker! And KSP was a key part of this journey.

Thank you KSP Team, and thanks to the community for being amazing during all these years :)
