美国太空总署 NASA 正在开发具有教育意义的多人线上游戏《英文名 Astronaut: Mars, Moon, and Beyond)》,藉此希望鼓励青少年能够追求成为太空人的梦想,游戏计画先以登上月球为目标,未来再登陆火星。
或许是看到了美国国防部开发《美国陆军》游戏后,对召募士兵带来正面影响,美国太空总署 NASA 也计画研发一款设定于 2035 年背景的专属多人线上游戏《 Astronaut: Mars, Moon, and Beyond Online》。
《 Astronaut: Mars, Moon, and Beyond Online》目前正在研发当中,由三家厂商合作开发,分别为 Wisdom Tools、Project Whitecard 与曾研发《美国陆军》的 Virtual Heroes;背景将设定为人类开始往太阳系其他星球寻找定居点,而在星球展开探索任务。
游戏计画将推广学习科学、科技、工程、数学,甚至还考虑结合给玩家相关项目认证。《 Astronaut: Mars, Moon, and Beyond Online》计画明年将会先释出以月球基地为内容的迷你游戏示范(Demo)。
教育类网游作为一个用户广泛的新网游产品类型,应该在国内未来的新网游市场里占领一个不小的市场份额。

Moonbase Alpha is scheduled for release in early 2010!
The mini demo game Moon Base Alpha utilizes actual NASA Constellation program design details developed by NASA for mankind’s return to the Moon in 2020. Timelines in the much anticipated Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond MMO will be set even farther in the exciting future (2035+), but the ability to explore our own near-future moon missions is also planned for in the forthcoming game facilitated by the NASA Learning Technologies and Innovative Partnerships Programs.
The NASA Learning Technologies (LT) project supports the development of projects that deliver NASA content through innovative applications of technologies to enhance education in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Research and development are at the core of the LT mission. LT seeks to enhance formal and informal education in STEM fields with the goal of increasing the number of students in those fields of study and is currently investigating the development of a NASA-based massively multiplayer online educational game (MMO).
