          I know I’m romanticizing it but, I wish nasa actually made for profit content. I want to play a space game that has proper constellations and shit.

            Kerbal Space Program has tons of mods that add realism, including a "realism overhaul" and a "Real Solar System" mod that also adds a realistic sky box

                  Spacewar! Basically the first graphic video game had an accurate star field. > [The] early version also contained a randomly generated background star field, initially added by Russell because a blank background made it difficult to tell the relative motion of the two spaceships at slow speeds.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Spacewar!#cite_note-cc-2) The programming community in the area, including the Hingham Institute and the TMRC, had developed what was later termed the "[hacker ethic](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Hacker_ethic "Hacker ethic")", whereby all programs were freely shared and modified by other programmers in a collaborative environment without concern for ownership or copyright, which led to a group effort to elaborate on Russell's initial *Spacewar!* game.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Spacewar!#cite_note-TCW5055-4)[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Spacewar!#cite_note-Hackers-13) Consequently, since the inaccuracy and lack of realism in the starfield annoyed TMRC member Peter Samson, he wrote a program based on real star charts that scrolled slowly through the night sky, including every star in a band between 22.5° N and 22.5° S down to the fifth [magnitude](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Magnitude_/(astronomy/) "Magnitude (astronomy)"), displayed at their relative brightness. The program was called "Expensive Planetarium"—referring to the high price of the PDP-1 computer compared to an analog planetarium, as part of the series of "expensive" programs like Piner's [Expensive Typewriter](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Expensive_Typewriter "Expensive Typewriter")—and was quickly incorporated into the game in March by Russell, who served as the collator of the primary version of the game.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Spacewar!#cite_note-cc-2)[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Spacewar!#cite_note-TCW5055-4)[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Spacewar!#cite_note-Replay60s-7)

                        The sheer creativity people achieved trying to play songs over the built-in Text-to-Speech synthesis is amazing
