Kerbal Space Program

Anyone here play Kerbal Space Program? I picked it up a few weeks back and it's proven to be insanely addictive.
The basic premise is you.... run the space program for a bunch of cute little green aliens called Kerbals from a remarkably earthlike planet called Kerbin. However! Beneath that slightly fluffy exterior, is a rather challenging game, with Newtonian Physics, stranded astronauts (ho ho, Kerbalnauts!) freezing to death and explosions. Huge explosions.
Must admit, my knowledge of orbital mechanics has improved since I started playing it.... The population of Kerbin has declined though.
