You are actually making these ships on their planet, called Kerbin, which is very much like Earth in just about every visual and physical (referring to gravity) way. The game, Kerbal Space Program, is named as such because the little creatures that have built the space port and are building your space ships are called Kerbals.
With such as unique, simple, yet incredibly challenging concept - you can expect hours upon hours upon hours of gameplay attempting to make different kinds of rockets and space planes that you can launch into orbit. The YouTube and Twitch gaming communities were playing this game non-stop for a few weeks since, when the game released, it was the only game of its kind and it still remains to be at this moment. Right off the bat the game got a ton of praise and got super hyped by critics trying out the game everywhere.
The game was built using the Unity engine, and was released earlier this year (2015 at the time of this article) in April. The space ship can fall apart, it might explode, it might not even get off the ground, or it might not start up - they are true to their word when they say it is a simulation, and it is a goofy one at that. What is so fun about this game, though, is that so much can go wrong.
And then, the best part happens: you get to try to fly it into space. It was a dream of one of the developers of the company Squad, the developing company of Kerbal Space Program - a space ship simulator in which a race of small green humanoids build a space ship plan that you visualize and lay out for them.
