Kerbal Space Program (http://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com) is a physics-based game where you can build multi-stage spaceships and blast into space, go into orbit or make your cosmonauts go boom and crash into the ground. Even though there isn't a lot of depth right now and the game's pretty buggy, I've had a lot of fun with this since discovering it a couple days ago.
The game's in its early stages and is under development. Planned features include:
QuoteTake on Missions to attract interest in your Space Program. Or use the Mission Planner to create your own missions.
Manage your Space Program. Hire astronauts, train them, research and improve parts.
Fly out to Moons and other Planets
Build Space Stations, and surface bases on other worlds.
And a whole lot more!
looks delicious
It's awesome. The physics are not only realistic, but hilarious.
Pretty dang amazing so far. I'm yet to explore absolutely everything yet though.

Has anyone been able to get a stable orbit? I always either fly out into space indefinitely or wind up on the ground.
I have a couple times, went around twice before descending back into Earth. Safely landed not too far from the launchpad.
I've been trying to get into orbit with stock parts. Closest I got was 100km but I fell back, didn't have a parachute either.
