For you amateur rocketeers, I recommend trying Kerbal Space Program, a nice little rocket assembly and flying game:

My kids are going to eat this up. Thank you.

I also recommend Orbiter 2010, but it is a simulator and is not easy.

Update: TO date, one of my kids loves this. The others are kind of 'meh'.

I love it though.
