MoonbaseBack in the early days of the IBM PC, one of our previous companies -- Wesson International, Inc. -- teamed with a group of NASA researchers who were examining how a base established on the Earth's moon might become self-supporting. We built a popular PC game based on their ideas and equations. This game ultimately became the core simulator for an economics class at the University of Texas taught by the Dean of the College of Business Administration. Since water has now been recently demonstrated to be present on the moon in sufficient quantities to support human habitation, the idea of a Moonbase is reentering NASA's planning. We thought it might be interesting to resuscitate our Moonbase lunar colony simulator for the iOS platforms. So ... stay tuned for an updated version of Moonbase to appear for the iPhone and iPad. |
