Orion wanted to build a rocket, and then, I (foolishly) attempted to fly it. It was surprisingly non-terrible, but not orbit capable by any means.

Greenland is mostly covered by a large ice sheet, but at the northern edge scientists have discovered a 31km wide impact crater, moreover it's possibly a very young crater. Created during the latter part of the Pleistocene age, colloquially known as 'the ice age'

Continuing the playthrough on Playstation 4 I spent an afternoon on the sofa working with the limitations of my KSC buildings and the inherent limitations of the PS4 version.

WARNING : Do Not Watch This - Play The Game, it's much better if you experience it for yourself.

But if you must.....
Save the Date starts out as a dating sim, interactive novel kind of thing and then quickly sidesteps into a commentary on gaming and the techniques that have become a normal part of game design. It's mostly static backdrops with lots of conversation, as such I spend most of this video reading dialogue from the Female love interest.
If you've played it to death, seen a dozen different endings but still can't figure out how to get the happy ending, then skip to the 58:00 mark to see how to think outside the box and make all her dreams come true.
I haven't exhausted all the dialogue options, but I think I've covered all the game over scenarios.
