Can't give a better note, because of the absolutely uncomprehensible absence of the NASA files in the download format of the product. Why put it on a printed version, but not in PDF ?

The game itself is a little improv game, not very interesting in itself, mostly made of big lists of terms linked to the theme of the game.

The concept is here, but the execution is a bit poor, and the lack of the files that are present in the printed version makes no sense at all.

Plus, though that point is written in the description, it's not very visible, and we can see in the comments that several person did bought the game and did not understand the NASA files were missing.

I suggested to at least give the names and links to the NASA files / manuals, reports, but so far, no answer from the author.

For all these reasons, one star is pretty fair.

I haven't run the game yet, but I did just receive my hardcopy in the mail today. It is amazing! Very few issues with the printing, all mentioned as possibilities in the description. Looking forward to playing this game. Or, just smashing people over the head with the book if they interrupt the game time!

As a former NASA Contractor (5 years at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL) and an avid gamer, this game is SO IN MY WHEELHOUSE! Just got my hardcooy book today and it is a thing of beauty. I recommend anyone playing this to take detialed notes and actively use a selection higlighters to really mark this thing up. If your cooy of the game doesn't both looked "lived in" and have an detailed accounting of your mission history... you're missing out.

This is a communal, improvisational, slice-of-life story-game about an astronaut going about thier business, doing mundane technical astronaut stuff on the moon. Its simple premise is backed with a lot of inspirational tables to color your story, and guidance on how to play.

The hardcover book is a wondrously excessive bagatelle of an artifact: It's a 1200-page book, but only the first 20 pages are the game itself. The rest are reproductions of actual NASA technical manuals from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. That's all there for inspiration for the story-game, but are completely unnecessary. Still: They are fascinating to thumb through, especially if you're a fan of engineering, technical manuals, and/or NASA history.

I completley love this book, and if it sounds like it would be your cup of tea, it is!
