NASA creating online multiplayer video game

Space.com reports that three game developers have signed on to create NASA's massively multiplayer online video game (MMO), called Astronaut: Moon, Mars & Beyond. The game, which will emphasize fun, will be developed by Virtual Heroes, Project Whitecard, and Information in Place. “We're talking about first person exploration, so it's all about exploring the environment, expanding and building things rather than shooting other players," said Jerry Heneghan, founder and CEO of Virtual Heroes. A playable demo of the game is scheduled to be released before the end of 2009.

Thankyou NASA, those people are creating a world that I wish I could become a part of. I found the idea of space exploration fascinating. When will they explore the Sphinx face they have found on mars.
