Nasa's making an MMO
Nasa's hoping that by creating it they can help increase public awareness of NASA and communicate on some of the things Nasa does.
I dunno, I'm really interested in seeing what comes about MMO's are about 50, 50 in catching my interest... But I'm not sure how they can make a good game, while remaining educational with their goals... Since although I'm highly interested in space, I'm more storyline / action / puzzle focused when it comes to games.
