Goldin is showing his age by trying to use music entertainers to raise interest in space and engineering among the younger folk - he should be using video games.


I don't know if it is an age thing, music videos do have an effect, but video games as well are very good ideas.

although ther are MANY computer games that are space related, many of these are so complex you coudl get a batchelors degree in them and therfor don't translate well to the market of playstation2 folks.

I remember there were there were plenty attari space based games though. . .


THE way to raise interest in space among the next generation is by taking the datasets for the different bodies and dumping them into flight simulators.


I'm way ahead of you Ed ;-) Today I have thought of redevelopeing a game I was working on a wile ago that did such a thing. . . although in a different programming environment. . . .
