Real World Kerbal Space Program - Part II - Flying By The Seat Of Your Pants
I take a look at the Lunar Escape Systems (LESS) which were studied by NASA in the early 1970's as a means to return astronauts to orbit in the event of a LEM failure. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLzfJIoBk-E
Privately developed launch vehicles are not a recent development, back in the early 1980's private investors developed the Conestoga launch vehicle, however after overcoming technical and legal problems the company was unsuccessful in the launch business but a spin off still operates under the guise of Celestis.

GoD Factory: Wingmen is a multiplayer space combat game in which the player works with a team of up to three other players to destroy the opponent's Carrier while defending their own. Currently there's a freely available demo that will expire in 30 days so you can try it out and experience the unique graphics style the game has to offer.
It's developed by a Canadian studio and they've been running a kickstarter to raise funds to complete the game, this is almost over,

I've been running aircraft design competitions using Kerbal Space Program with the BD Armory mod to add weapons. Each round players build aircraft according to the rules and when the time comes they assemble to do battle. The rules are intended to push the designers out of their box and come up with aircraft that look good and perform well under simulated combat conditions.
Thanks to Bart for the logo and Arc for help with video editing, and of course all the participants who developed aircraft.
NOT AFFILIATED WITH PROJECT RUNWAY IN ANY WAY
