[nasa123]

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/3d_resources/scan.html im about to play for the first time!!!

[mojoey]

ive played it before...its ok

[your mom]

I don\'t really see how its even close to ksp...... besides its in space but ok.

[HarvesteR]

I\'ve played that when they released it. It\'s pretty fun actually. Too bad it\'s goal-oriented instead of being a true tycoon game though... I finished it in about 40 minutes, and tycoon games shouldn\'t ever end.

Cheers

yeah its made so that young ppl will want to work for nasa i alredey want to but it needs to be longer if kids/teens will get into space

There are some limitations to free accounts such as no forum postings and a in game credit limit but trust me it has no effect on the awesomeness. I\'m not about to earn ten million credits anytime soon.

since you play a Starfleet officer, the requisitions of ship systems and equipment are pretty competently handled by the single player quest.

Because it was a payware game before, the community is tight and there are some awesome senior players to tag around with if you are lucky to catch them.

A few of us intend to roleplay a bunch of characters from Stargate SG1 just so we happened to run into a Jack O Neill earlier this morning. lol.

Um, I think you posted that in the wrong thread...

[Goddess Bhavani]

I am pretty sure I was at the Good Free Games thread, as displayed on my phone.

BAD ANDROID.

Not sure how to say this politely, but if you want to work for NASA strong English skills are a good start. I am assuming that English is your first language and that you are old enough to know better.

Here\'s two others:

http://www.nasa.gov/offices/education/programs/national/ltp/games/moonbasealpha/index.html

So why did I quote HarvesteR? I\'ll tell you. Moonbase Alpha is just like Harvester described... Play once, done in 40 minutes, play twice, done in ten... and that\'s it... No more game play. I\'d assume Station Spacewalk isn\'t any better.

Moonbase Alpha *looks* awesome, it uses the Unreal Engine 3, Graphics, textures, shaders, models, everything, *awesome*... and then you\'re done.

It took longer to get Steam, download / install, and load than it did to play. 2 freekin\' Gigabytes for less than an hour of game-play... Compare that to KSP\'s 100MB download offering *thousands* of hours of entertainment and you get...

EPIC FAIL.

Unless you count UUUUUUUUUUUUUU AEIOU JOHN MADDEN MOHN JADDEN FOOTBALL Snake? Snake! SNAAAKE! Jibblejibblejibble as being realistic.

PLOT TWIST!

Which I DO.

You would be spending vast amounts of your time 'tpye'ing at almost any technical job, including even being an astronaut. You will be expected to understand spelling, grammar, and punctuation - spellcheck can only save you from the first of those. You might want to work on those skills.

On the other hand, I know you probably could type clearly if you made the effort, you\'re just sending quick responses on a game forum.

I dont want to be a astronaut i want to be a person who makes the spacecraft

[your mom]

If there\'s anymore space craft to make..... with to economy going the way it is we ain\'t launching rockets for a long time if we keep getting these crappy presidents.

Perhaps the 'any technical job' part of my post would apply to that too. I\'ll leave it to you to prepare for your chosen career in whatever way you see fit, though!

Your Mom - someone\'s going to be launching things but it might not be NASA, or even US-related. It depends on whether nasa123 considers a satellite a 'spacecraft', but I know first-hand that at least one of NASA\'s unmanned items (SOHO) gets called a spacecraft by the operators.

I\'ll stop derailing the thread now!

HELP ME, THIS DERAILED TRAIN IS HEAVY! NNNNNNG!

Back on topic, This game is good for simulating what it\'s like to be a commander or orbiters, but nowhere like KSP in any way, shape or form except for the fact that it is in space, and has orbiting.

My two cents.

That\'s because Moonbase Alpha comes with *thousands* of hours of text to speech.

KSP seems the best way to go. It has an infinite number of possible creations with infinite different ways you could do things for infinty² combinations. Theoretically it should therefore provide infinite entertainment.

I\'m sure you will have to type if you work for NASA too...
