Kerbal Space Program gets high marks for giving me a great intuitive sense of orbital mechanics, aeronautical design, and space mission architectures (‘to get to space you need to go sideways, not up’), even if the actual rocket building is simplified to Lego-like to keep it fun

My light bulb moment was when I looked at the Apollo 13 orbital paths and mentally considered a few alternatives they could have done too.
