About this game
The most scientifically accurate space exploration game ever made. Plan interplanetary missions using real orbital mechanics, deltaV budgets, and Hohmann transfer orbits. Auction for rocket patents, assemble spacecraft from real technology components, and launch missions to industrialize asteroids, moons, and planets. The learning curve is steep, but the reward is genuine rocket science on your table. The fourth edition streamlines rules and adds solo play. Not a game about space fantasy; a game about what space travel actually requires.
