    I'd be glad to pay twice that. I, for one, would like to see man on Mars in my lifetime.

    I'm interested. What's with all the hate? Nasa is making an MMO so that they can once again popularize space (Carl Saagan died... a while ago) and maybe ACTUALLY earn a bit of funding for space projects.


    This is what happens when a nation asks to go to mars, but offers no funding for the project.


    And as for price... whatever. Space ships cost billions. MMOs cost millions.

    I actually think it is a great idea. They're planning ahead. They know that the reason we have less and less funding for NASA and other fields is that the growing youth of the past was given less and less of a reason. After the Space Race boom of the mid to late 60's, you had people join JPL and NASA. Since these programs have dwindled, you've seen less and less of them in the spotlight. Not to mention the fact that the last of the two most important events have been the destruction of vehicles. Both Challenger and Columbia. By introducing these potential playing grounds to the younger generation to use in classrooms and even at home, you spark an interest which will hopefully fuel space exploration in a generation or so. Spark a child, create fire within him.
    Or something disturbing to visualise.

    Agreed. Still, I don't think there's a single 5 year old boy who does not dream of one day being an astronaut.

    As much as I love NASA, I don't really see the point in this. While setting foot on another planet or finding extraterrestrial microbial life would be incredibly exciting in real life, it would be bland compared to other games on the market where you can actually fight aliens, fly faster than light, and what have you. The only analogy I can think of to this is pretty terrible, but I'll say it anyway: it's like a losing one's virginity game. Yeah, it's exciting in real life, but a game about it would be bland and uninteresting.
