You would be wrong.

Just a follow up from the Apollo missions, which themselves was a follow up of our failed fake moon landing.
We had it all set up, the filming was being done in Hangar 18. Then all of a sudden some damn alien space ship had to crash. The studio equipment was cleared out of the hangar to store the recovered spacecraft. With no place to film a fake landing, we had to do it for real instead.

The rocket does look like some random ♥♥♥♥ you throw together in KSP, though.

I had enough, you'll all report to the Jeb ASAP for proper punishment.
Few millenias on the surface of ThatOneDoesNotExiststing will do you well.
So say we all.

Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is widely played by NASA employees, though it is used primarily for public outreach, education, and recreation rather than as a primary professional engineering tool.
Use by NASA Employees
Recreational Play: Many NASA engineers and scientists play KSP in their free time because it captures the "spirit" of their work with high fidelity.
Professional Inspiration: Some current NASA employees, such as spacecraft navigation analysts, credit playing KSP during their education as a major influence on their career choice.
Zero-G Indicators: In May 2022, a Kerbal plush was used as the zero-gravity indicator on the Boeing Starliner's second orbital test flight to the International Space Station.

Actually space X has been quoted saying "Unscheduled rapid disassembly" for one of their rocket failures as a KSP reference/meme.
So they have definitely played the game.
You know what they say about KSP and understanding of space/orbital dynamics.
Understanding of Space:
1/10 Harvard Rocket Science Graduate
2/10 working at NASA
...
...
...
10/10 Playing KSP and doing gravity assists and Rendezvous phasing orbits by eyeball.

Better than the NASA scientists of old who would play Call of Duty only to be surprised they were shooting Germans. (They don't remember the war quite like that)

Yes. NASA gets inspiration from KSP. This is fact.
