So Apparently Buzz Aldrin, one of the men that had a major hand in the moon landing as one of the astronauts, is putting his hand in the ring for video game creation now. His first video game will be aptly titled "Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager."
The Purpose of this game is actually not to man the shuttle or anything like that, you literally play the manager of the the space station of a fledgling space program in the fifties. You have to deal with NASA guidelines and make sure you do everything by the book.
The game should have two different modes, a free play mode and a campaign mode. The free play mode will allow you to free do what you want and spend your money. The Campaign mode will give you specific money on a turn to turn basis and goals you need to accomplish. Both modes are suppose to put you through the historic events that happened through NASA's career.
All this said, the concept seems very interesting, but as with all other simulators (I.E. Train Simulator and Farm Simulator) it will more than likely be a very select niche of people that will buy/play this game and has a very high chance of just being a very over complicated space simulator.
I can see this game maybe being used for people who want to work for NASA and maybe even being used in some select college courses that would touch on this subject in some way. All in all this game probably won't sell en masse but will still have its uses and select market.
