Glad to see my tax dollars went into the development of this NASA. I really am not mad at all. Make a larger Mars one with... the one key element we all love. Signed, An aspiring astrophysicist who focused on John Madden more than the realness of the game.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea adding text to speech in a moon simulator, but I like it! 10/10

Just so you know, most of the people who play this game are here for the amazing text to speach voice. So dont expect serious gameplay in multiplayer. But feel free to play singleplayer, its the only place you wont get spammed by text to speach every 4 seconds. And good luck!

this is a fun little title for when u just want to goof around and say funny stuff with friends or by yourself. it's a fun time waster and good for when u have nothing to do. ^w^

You are an astronaut on the moon when a meteorite impacts and damages the base. You must repair the affected parts of the base, with you fellow astronauts. With the many tools, and robots at your disposal, coordinate with your team to resupply the base with oxygen and energy. Graphics and sounds match the ambiance of the environment and situations, especially when you consider the price. Free. My only gripe with this game, is sometimes, you end up doing all the work as your teammate(s) will just end up fooling around. Yes... There are trolls in all multiplayer games. LOL. Don't take my word for it, and check out my video by clicking on the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WMFsglGb0Y
