Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is a remarkably rich, open-ended physics-based space program simulator. The types of spacecraft and missions you can design and simulate, particularly with a very active modding community is practically endless. Do you want to fly the Enterprise? Which one? Perhaps see if you can survive out of Andy Weir's The Martian?
PCGamer has an article on a person who has logged more than 4000 hours on KSP. The user, known as ShadowZone in the Steam community, spends many hours designing and implementing complex spacecraft as well as calculating flight plans. It is an interesting read for anyone who has given this game a try, and if you're not careful you may learn something before it's done.
When I first spied the 39-year-old father of two discussing his playtime on Twitter, I wanted him to answer one simple question: What do you even do in Kerbal Space Program for that length of time? Well if you're Daniel, you spend it building staggeringly complex machines to then launch on missions so daring it'd make Arthur C. Clarke sweat—all while rediscovering that childish sense of wonder that makes space so captivating to begin with.

But here you learn the rewards of hard work and perseverance, never, ever give up. Never quit. Persevere. Never, ever quit. You learn the satisfaction of building a molecule, flying around the Moon or earning a cyber badge after mastering a certain skill. There’s no better feeling than an achievement that you’ve earned with your own sweat, tears, resolve, hard work. There’s nothing like it. Do you agree with that?
In life, in order to be successful -- and you people are well on the road to success -- you have to find out what makes you excited, what makes you want to get up each morning and go to work. You have to find it. If you love what you do and dedicate yourself to your work, then you will gain MOMENTUM. And look, you have to. You need the word “momentum.” You will gain that momentum. And each success will create another success. The word “momentum.”
And remember this, you’re not working. Because when you’re doing something that you love, like I do -- of course I love my business, but this is a little bit different. Who thought this was going to happen? McKay from Buzzfeed, of Buzzfeed, kept saying, "oh, Donald J. Trump is a Fake Candidate, he'll never run!" He went on MSNBC, he bet one year of salary that I would never make it to the Iowa ballot. He got it all wrong, but I won't hold it against him. Nor does he have to pay the one year salary to me that he guaranteed if I ran -- I let him off the hook. And remember not only did I run in the primaries, I won. And in the general, I won again -- overwhelmingly. In spite of MASSIVE Voter Fraud. I was inaugurated -- beautiful Inauguration, biggest crowd ever. And in less than two years we've eliminated more regulations than any administration has ever eliminated. Meaning, in 4 years, 8 years or in one instance 16 years. We’re, you know, having a good time. We’re doing a good job.
Doing a good job. But when you do something that you love, remember this, it’s not work. So you’ll work 24-7. You’re going to work all the time. And at the end of the year you’re not really working. You don’t think of it as work. When you’re not doing something that you like or when you’re forced into do something that you really don’t like, that’s called work, and it’s hard work, and tedious work.
So as much as you can, do something that you love. Work hard and never ever give up, and you’re going to be tremendously successful. Tremendously successful!!!

You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you

And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw

So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.

If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

It did work - mostly - except for a bug in MechJeb that prevents ascent guidance from being used twice by the scripting module with out a load of a save game between and I could not automate that. I was able to have the ship take off, get to orbit, do a plane change, do a homan transfer, adjust the periapsis at the target object, move into orbit, then land at a pre-designated area and collect the science.
I then had to do a quick save and quick load then start the second part of the mission which was to take off from minmus, achieve an orbit, transfer to kerbin then set a periapsis of 30km for reentry, fall from minmus all the way to kerbin and perform a reentry procedure.

I'm a few months shy of 28 years old. I've been alive ~240,000 hours. Assuming 8 hours of sleep per night - ~ 160,000 hours awake. I'll most likely have another 320,000 or so waking hours left if I live to an average age. 4,000 hours spent playing a game is a small amount if it makes you happy.
