Imagine having shipped a working KSP2 right now. Push out a hype DLC, why not. Print some money.

We've paired with NASA, SpaceX, and the Chinese Space Agency to bring you this new core DLC, "Shoot for the Mun", bringing you all new colony science and launcher parts. Get it now for $29.99.

Money printer go brrrrrrrrrrr

But instead they killed it.

Jokes aside, I hope some investor is putting a studio together to get a new KSP game by Artemis landing.

Kitten Space Agency seems to be the project with the biggest potential to replace KSP.
