UNIT 402 / FLIGHT PACKAGES
Choose your approach.
Same cockpit. Different ground. Counter the drift. Release does not stop momentum.
Play without signup. South Dallas has verified global rankings; the other locations are unranked practice.
South of Dallas
Original three-thruster challenge. Left/right counter drift; main thrust slows descent. Land within 8 m of the target, at no more than 3.2 m/s descent and 2 m/s lateral speed.
Keyboard: ← → steer · ↑ brake · P pause. Hold touch controls to thrust. Counter the drift. Release does not stop momentum. Leaving the game pauses it.

HANGAR BOARD / PRACTICE MODE
The bar is… negotiable.
| Pilot | Score | Flight status |
|---|---|---|
| KTE | 4,218 | Kyte’s fictional benchmark |
| BOB | DQ | Remote assist. Nice try. |
Kyte and Bob are simulator flavour, not real visitors. Global verified rankings are below. These fictional benchmarks and device-local scores are not global entries.

We store your verified email privately for account access, a unique callsign, validated flight results, and a history of your consent choices. An essential session cookie keeps this browser signed in for up to 30 days. Anonymous server flight records expire after 30 days unless attached to your verified account.
Your email is encrypted in the registry database. Account emails are delivered through Gmail. Public boards show only callsign, rank, score and landing rating. Notification choices here do not change a separate Space Junker newsletter subscription.

GLOBAL BOARD / SOUTH OF DALLAS
Actual pilots. Verified landings.
Loading verified records…
Same starting conditions, same physics. Scores are recalculated from control inputs on the server. This validates the flight, not whether a human or a bot supplied the controls. No email addresses appear here.
Current scenario: South of Dallas practice. Separate challenge boards arrive with new flight packages.
FLIGHT BRIEFING
Spacecraft do not
have a brake pedal.
Release a thruster and you keep drifting. Use counter-thrust to settle over the green ring; main thrust slows your descent. Watch the numbers, not your optimism.
- Line up. Steer toward the pad, then thrust the other way to stop drifting.
- Slow down. Main thrust pushes upward. Short burns conserve reserve.
- Set down. Each location has its own safe radius, velocity limits and hazards. Read the selected flight briefing.
Arcade physics, not an engineering simulation. South Dallas uses three thrusters; the other locations add forward and backward movement. No purchases or login required to play. Global scores currently apply to South Dallas only.
For reference: this is the standard you are trying to improve on.
