Howdy Ya'll,
I don't know if anyone is interested but NASA has just released a free game at Steam about working on a Moon base.
It's classified as Casual, Strategy, Family Games, Adventure
I just found out about it from Slashdot. It's a single and multi-player game. It's free so couldn't hurt to take a look.

They couldn't release it on GOG or some other place??? I don't like Steam's whole setup... When you download a game every time you go to play it Steam needs to load and start up and my system doesn't seem to like it too much... Also it turns itself on automatically when you start the computer, you have to go in and turn it off... Something it should have asked you during the install... I hate programs that take it upon themselves to add itself to your start up list...
I'll still check out your game, just wish they could have used another download site...

Yes I agree Steam is annoying that way.
For Steam,
Go to the "Steam" menu. Choose "Settings". Choose "Interface". Uncheck "Run Steam when my computer starts" and choose OK.

Okay just tried playing the mission. Whoa that was hard to get around. I hate being limited to arrow keys. I played without the 25 minute time limit.
It's apparently a teaser for the real game Astronaut: Moon, Mars & Beyond. I don't see when the big game is coming out though.
Not bad considering it's free. I liked the graphics. The game looked pretty good.
