Post NASA MMO Being Developed
Apparently NASA is developing a space MMO. If the Army game hadn't been so good, I wouldn't take this seriously at all. But the Army game was actually quite good, so perhaps this will be decent.

We are not so much focused on interstellar flight and all that entails... the gameplay is actually about being in a habitat on a planetary surface and doing things like mining Helium-3 for fuel, operating a hydroponics facility to grow plants and create oxygen and operating robots and vehicles.


Heh...yay...mining helium 3. Growing hydroponic crops. Sounds mildly boring. :roll:

Just replace "helium 3" with "mithril" and "hydrophonic crops" with "herbalism" and you have just about 90% of all MMORPGS out there. :P

It sounds like Eve Online for bionic nerds ( > normal and über nerds), really.
