NASA has given gamers a taste of lunar adventure with release of Moonbase Alpha, an exciting new, free online video game.
The game has single and multiplayer options that allow participants to step into the role of an exploration team member in a futuristic 3-D lunar settlement. Players must work to restore critical systems and oxygen flow after a meteor strike cripples a solar array and life support equipment. Available resources include an interactive command center, lunar rover, mobile robotic repair units and a fully-stocked equipment shed.

Do you get to make lunar rover car bombs? What about beheadings in zero atmosphere?
Well thanks to Obama, lunar exploration will just have to remain in games and other forms of fiction...
WTF? Shouldn’t NASA be working on Islamic rocketry?
There had better be muslims in this game......could make them feel bad to be left out.
Well maybe they could have you start the game with a scimitar as a weapon rather than a chainsaw.
Sent the link to my 20 yr. old gamer son. ;o)
It’s a Crescent Moon game.
It’s Obama’s NASA. The game is probably a trojan designed to monitor your internet activity and empty your bank accounts.
Yep. That is what NASA was always supposed to be about! (sarc)
I’m downloading it. What the hell, it looks entertaining. I expect that it will not come with an invoice for the cost of the moonbase project, or a justifiaction for the expnediture. I’ll let you know if the game allows me to build a mosque there.
Priceless...LOL
I wonder how I’m gonna figure out which way mecca is?
Are you out of your mind man?! Showing a picture of the prophet will get us all killed!
Seriously is that a real game somewhere or just a still picture?
