Person 1: "Dude, did you hear about how Elon Musk made that Giant Rocket?"

The Kerbal Effect: when a videogame inspires a person to pursue a career path that they had not planned on before, named as it is because of the many people that have pursued degrees in aerospace engineering because of Kerbal Space Program.
I just saw another Kerbal Effect post on Reddit where someone got degrees in aerospace and mechanical engineering because they bought KSP.

Kerbal Space Program is an indie space-sandbox game known for it's steep learning curve and accurate physics simulation. Many players were originally turned off by the "rocket science" aspect of the game. A phrase popularized by the game is "Add moar boosters" and it has been mentioned on xkcd.

Kerbal Space Program is an alien torturing game made by Mexican-based company, Squad. You play the game by building phallic rockets and trying to get your little green turds, or Kerbals as the game calls them, into the cold, dark emptiness of space trying to get to other planets. Playing Kerbal Space Program regularly will make you more qualified for a job at NASA than actually going to school.
NASA boss: So why would I hire you for this job?
You: I play Kerbal Space Program
NASA boss: *Startled voice* Of course, right this way!
