“Renata is welcome to return in sequels or even other genres. She’s a positive force who is out to do the right thing, either totally ignorant of the danger or unwilling to accept it.

“For the dedicated, playing Kerbal means recreating reality. Forget Steel Battalion and buying an elaborate control plank—Kerbal die-hards concoct their custom electronics for the sake of total authenticity. Some base their designs on actual NASA hardware.
