Can I play Kerbal without Steam?

Kerbal Space Program looks like a game I'd enjoy. There is a free demo available. I noticed the purchase link lists "Buy Steam Key". I have had one experience with Steam, and that was enough.
Do I need Steam for Kerbal, or is it an option that you can choose not to purchase/load/use?
Best Answer
Not if you are trying to launch the Steam version directly. It will just open Steam then the game.
Otherwise, if you purchase it from the website using the "Add To Cart" button you will receive the Squad version (Which Does Not Require Steam)

Can I play KSP offline?
Yes it does, but if you want to go offline because of the EULA you can just block KSP exectuables in Windows firewall (make sure to block both inbound and outbound traffic), that way you can still be connected to Steam while playing but 2K cannot spy on you.Can you play KSP for free?
Right now, KSP is in Sandbox Complete state, but we want you to try it out and have fun with it. The Demo version is free to download and play, and will remain so forever.Can you run KSP on a laptop?
