Hey friends. Thorium's developer here. Happy to answer any questions or give more insights.
Thorium Classic has been in development since 2016 and is primarily intended to be used in brick-and-mortar space centers out in Utah, like the Space Place[1] and CMSC[2]. As such, there isn't a lot of content and documentation to get newcomers up-and-running with it.
Thorium Nova is currently under development and is intended to be used by a broader audience. It will include much more content, pre-built missions, and more integrated tutorials.
The project is open-source, so anyone is welcome to contribute[3] and follow along with the progress of each alpha.
