The goal of these games is probably closer to Kerbal Space Program or MS Flight Simulator than an "educational" game. Imagine playing within the parameters and finding a combination that brings unexpected results. It's probably harder to design than a standard game, but I think there's potential to have something pretty entertaining otherwise.

To be honest i agree, idk if I gained a ton of knowledge from KSP(I know what deltaV is now) but man does that stuff - as well as the flight simulators - let you grok some concepts better than any other way. Except actually flying I guess. Seeing a planet on the map appear close but be invisible, then turning into my whole view really helped me grasp the distance between bodies in space. And KSP is scaled down! Reading about stalls helps but crashing the tutorial Cessna twelve times really helps you understand what a stall is and why it happens.
