It remained a complete mystery to me how they implemented all of the control systems without flying the vehicle single time. Now I know a thing called 'dynamic control' exists but still feels unfathomable - you build a rocket - and then without any testflights - it actually flies where you program it to?

The book mentioned "simulations" a couple times. I would love to know who wrote the simulation.

edit: maybe "simulation" was ksp and the wrote their flight controller as a plugin haha
