NASA has submitted a Request for Information for what would be a NASA-themed MMORPG http://procurement.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/synopsis.cgi?acqid=128415
'A NASA-based MMO built on a game engine that includes powerful physics capabilities could support accurate in-game experimentation and research. It should simulate real NASA engineering and science missions in a medium that is comfortable and familiar to the majority of students in the United States today.'
What's it going to be called, My Space?
I want my avatar to be the director of NASA and propose budgets that get shot down by congress. And I can't wait to upgrade my Standard Rockwell Pressurized Helmet for a Savage Gladiator's Space Suit Helmet of Justice +3. Along with my Merciless Lunar Boots of the Fox and my Wrathful Life Support System of Stealth, that will increase my chance to find life on Mars by 13%.
