How much do you love EarthBound? Do you love it so much that you’d shoot it into space?

Atlas Rising, the latest No Man’s Sky patch, promised players “increased biome variety and rare exotic biomes.” Over the weekend, intrepid space adventurers have started to get a taste of what these strange new lands look like in action.

Prey isn’t afraid to ask the big questions, like what happens if you fire a Nerf crossbow into the side of a space station in zero-g?

NASA had some big news this past week. No, it wasn’t aliens. It was the next best thing: the discovery of seven new “Earth-sized exoplanets,” a few of which could be hospitable to life.

Starfighter: Eclipse may sound like a title for a run-of-the-mill sci-fi game involving spaceships, but don’t let the name fool you. It’s actually way steamier than that.

Well, there was a rocket crossed with a helicopter in real life, kind of: the Roton, which is the inspiration for this Kerbal Space Program build. But it was nowhere near as cool.

Some people play gigantic space game Elite: Dangerous to lead humble, (relatively) ordinary space lives. They do missions, make deliveries, and decorate their cockpits with silly little bobbleheads. Then there's The Great Expedition.

There was a total lunar eclipse just now. The blood moon! And boy, did it look amazing.
