NASA MMO in the works

chautemoc | April 24, 2008 | News | Company Misc 
NASA is currently in the works of a 2-plus million dollar MMO which will focus on enchancing "science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning." Sound boring? Not so. Project Manager at NASA Learning Technologies Daniel Laughlin says he knows it has to be fun or people won't care.
“If it’s not fun, no one will play it and we’ll have wasted our time. The 90’s were littered with edutainment… but in order to stimulate, [an educational game] has to be compelling enough to be commercially viable.”
