A-OK Wings Of Mercury bills itself as an educational recreation of the Mercury missions allowing you to flip all the cockpit switches to your hearts content, or at least until you kill your virtual pilot. This is just the demo which lets you perform sub orbital flights on the Redstone booster, but the full version includes the Atlas launcher, orbital missions and the ability to network multiple players who can play mission control.
It's produced by by Apogee Development and is available from their site:

The Mercury Capsule mock up is one of the exhibits at the Chabot Space Science Center - it is a 1:1 copy, although many parents on the fiel trip though it was 'kid sized'.

(Yes I know I said 'first astronauts' but to be fair, Gagarin and Titov were called 'Cosmonauts')

Back in 2006 NASA took the bold step of awarding contracts to private space companies to develop orbital launch vehicles, one of those companies was a company who wanted to revolutionize launch vehicles with a fully reusable rocket designed by a prestigious group of ex NASA rocket scientists who'd pushed the envelope on rocket designs. The other was SpaceX.

Trying to give X-Rebirth a second chance, on twitch.tv last night. While the game had a buggy release the developers have been great at taking buggy games at release and fixing them into great titles, so I wanted to give this another chance.
Despite my best efforts the sound effects are terribly low, with the speech being completely inaudible in places.

Newer Version of this video here:

Original Description:
Following up to my previous tutorial for new pilots, this covers the construction of a rocket and lander that can go to another world. I get a lot of requests for a beginners guide to landing on the Mun, but for rookie pilots I strongly suggest heading to Minmus instead. Although it's smaller and requires more maneuvering in space to get there you can perform these maneuvers without risking the entire missions if you make a mistake. The target itself has lower gravity than the Mun so landing is more forgiving, and it also has nice flat areas to make the landing easy.
This tutorial covers:
Building a rocket capable of the mission.
Getting to Orbit
Transferring to the target body
Entering Orbit
Landing
Return
WARNING: Since this video has been made the 0.21 release has added the need to include a power source on the lander.
