    I used to baby sit a friend’s kid when he was a wee lad, frankly we spent most time playing KSP. Used to give him challenges like if he could build a ship using x amount of parts and make orbit would let him order out pizza instead of food his mom prepared for us. He rarely succeeded at first but apparently kept at it long after I stopped mentoring him and apparently is now going to school to be an aerospace engineer. And before all that his mom could never get him to do his math homework as a tyke.

          Definitely not all those kerbals stranded on Duna. He never did figure out how to properly make it there and back

      Nothing got me working on math quite like trying to figure out my ship’s ∆v back in 2014 before I installed Kerbal Engineer
