The magic of the original

Kerbal Space Program wasn’t

in watching its boggle-eyed

astronauts explode, or in the

careful crafting of your next

rocket. No, the magic was in

the way the game pushed you

to reach for greatness. You will

get to the Mun, it whispered.

No matter how many of these

green idiots we have to sacrifice.

How appropriate, then, that its

sequel should be so ambitious.

We were invited to stare deep into the

wondrous void of the game so far, and returned

with stars in our eyes. And a cover feature.
