NASA's new online computer game

It seems that NASA will be releasing a computer game next year; Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond.  It is a massively multiplayer online game, similar to world of warcraft, but in this case players get to drive lunar rovers, live in martian colonies, operate the shuttle and international space station.  The online life of your character will be based around the development of skills (robot arm operation, EVA training, etc) which is rewarded with access to more parts of the game and access to cooler stuff (exoskeleton suits).  Additionally characters are able to interact with and develop communities, and do things in these communities like run for mayor of Mars.

Check it out here.
