Ever wanted to build and fly a rocket? Now you can (kinda) with this currently free game.

Its stupid fun, and there are some great part mods to make some silly designs. Currently 50 mins into my first successful orbit flight. Probably will take a few hours to make splash down. Rocket Probably-Will-Work MK.II is a GO!
Handy graph of required velocities to maintain orbit at various altitudes.
