I wish someone thought of this when i was in school. It would of been a good attempt to spark any scientific interest

@ail_taco: I love laws, theories and the maths as much as everyone else, but there's always something special in seeing them in action, especially in their most simplistic form =)

Good stuff. Gotta love how the simplest of things can teach complex mechanics. My 10 year old cousin was over for the weekend. I had him playing Kerbal Space Program and he loved it. Little did he know he inadvertently learned basic rocket science and orbital mechanics. Next thing I know he's asking his parents how to calculate DeltaV at dinner, Lmao.. it was very entertaining.

kerbal is love, kerbal is life
