High Frontier*

In the near future, nanofabrication techniques will allow for the creation of incredible new materials atom by atom, but only in the conditions of weightlessness and high vacuum in space. Players act as Earth’s governments racing to establish a functioning space program, gathering resources and colonizing other planets, moons, and asteroids. Water in low Earth orbit serves as currency for bidding on space-related patents, while players must balance the weight and maneuverability of their spacecraft to succeed.
