High Frontier

There Will Be Games

1997 Phil Eklund and Sierra Madre came out with American Megafauna a game about the evolution of reptiles, dinosaurs and mammals.   In 2007 he came out with Origins how we became Human.  Barnes review http://www.sierra-madre-games.com/index_reviews.htm. 

Now Phil Eklund continues mans evolution and takes man out into space.   Coming in October 2010 is High Frontier.   Here's the description from TOS:

In the UN space laboratory located in the orbit known as Lagrange point 5, humanitarian scientists have discovered nanofacturing techniques allowing materials to be built atom by atom. A lunar base funded by a Japanese entrepreneur is using this research in the low-gravity mechanosynthesis of carbon buckytubes. China has just completed an orbiting military base, a geostationary powersat that supplies energy to Earth via laser beams. This base was constructed using the European Space Agency’s cycler, a large transporter satellite that makes rapid transits through the Van Allen belts. NASA has established a cryogenic fuel depot in Low Earth Orbit, using its workhorse, the Ares Cargo LV, with a payload of 125 tons. Further afield, a privately-funded prospecting rocket using robonauts has just discovered water on the small moon of Mars called Deimos.

Future space activities will be driven by economics and rocket technology, and this means that space entrepreneurs will be chasing water throughout the inner solar system. Whoever gets the evolving water circuitry right by maximizing ISRU (in-situ resource utilization), along with developing efficient rockets using water or hydrogen propellant, is going to gain the strategic high ground for making money through exoglobalization . 

Take a look at this crazy map:

I don't think this will ever be on my wish list but I'm hoping somebody will drag me in try this own one of these days.
