Kerbal Space Program<\/a> is a game that invites players to design spacecraft, pilot missions, and explore new worlds.

Luckily, the Kerbals\u2019 creators have chosen to offer 3D printed versions of the Kerbonauts and their worlds<\/a>\u00a0in vivid full color sandstone, exclusively on Shapeways.<\/p>\n
