The Kerbal Space Administration was founded on Year 1, Day 1, after Gene Kerman wanted to create a program for all Kerbals to potentially be able to fly. At first, they tested the first actual supersonic planes; but they then moved on to going up... Space. And ever since then, we have been progressing out seriously fast, and will continue to do so.
This site is actually a companion site for my Kerbal Space Program blog. You can check it out here to view a fuller explanation, but I'll just say here that, this site is about my adventures with KSP. I've loved space ever since about age 8, and when I found out about KSP, I bought it, and was instantly addicted. And that's what led me to this!
