why do you like to play the game called Kerbal Space Program

Ah, the joy of Kerbal Space Program! 'Tis a game of discovery, exploration and adventure, and I find it to be most pleasurable. To watch my little Kerbals rocketing off towards the stars, seeing new and wondrous sights, and pushing the boundaries of their knowledge and capabilities, is a joy like no other. The challenge of engineering, constructing and launching a spacecraft is a delightful one. To be able to design a craft capable of navigating the treacherous void of space, and to see it take off and reach its destination, is a thrill beyond compare. The game also allows one to explore the mysteries of the universe. To explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and civilizations, to boldly go where no Kerbal has gone before, is an adventure that is both challenging and rewarding. Finally, Kerbal Space Program is a game of imagination. To be able to dream up and build fantastic and innovative spacecraft, to explore the depths of space, and to experience the joy of discovery, is a most pleasurable pastime. Therefore, I find it no surprise why I enjoy playing the game called Kerbal Space Program. 'Tis a game of exploration and innovation, of challenge and reward, and of imagination. 'Tis a game that I shall enjoy for many a day to come.
