Stable Orbit is a highly realistic space management simulation game. Set in 2034, an unprecedented ‘All Nations Space Coalition’ has been formed around a shared desire to rebuild mankind’s permanent presence in space. But space is a dangerous place. The only things between survival and your crew suffocating, blood boiling and radiation overdose are the thin walls of the space station.
Background: I've got over 6000 hours using games to teach people about real world space concepts, and do this as a full time job.
Streamed the game for about 5 hours on my Twitch channel... and I got about 5 hours of entertainment out of it. Finally declared victory when we had determined that you could put rotating nodes on rotating nodes ad infinitum...

1) There is no tutorial what-so-ever in game. You are thrust looking into your initial 'base' piece. <Has been fixed as of 1.0.2, but still very basic> 1/10/2017
2) Running in windowed mode seems to just 'shrink' textures and text, making models look very poor, even with max AA, as the edges...
Looks very promising, very relaxing music to go with a relaxing game. Game is still in its infancy, I would consider it a two year old that has just figured out how to walk and you can see the potential of a real runner. This is a simulation if you expect aliens to show up and lasers to defend your station, you are out of luck, I think. The developer...
