Joining Neil deGrasse Tyson are such famous scientists and experts in science and communication, including rocket scientist Loretta Falcone, cosmologist Janna Levin astrophysicist Charles Liu, planetary scientist Carolyn Porco, astronomer Amy Mainzer, former astronaut Mike Massimino and science communicator Bill Nye. He has also invited authors like Neil Gaiman, Larry Niven, Peter Beagle and George R. R. Martin to join him on the creative world-building aspect.

p>Although it's a brand new project, it's not the first computer game that is educational in nature. From classics such as "Oregon Trail" to modified builds of the game "Minecraft," game designers and educators have long recognized the power of teaching through games. Tyson's game, which's full name is "Neil deGrasse Tyson Presents Space Odyssey The Video Game" The Video Game", appears to be ambitious. https://diigo.com/0q01yv </p>

p>The Kickstarter campaign, with its goal of raising $314,159 (a seemingly insignificant amount until you consider the pi digits), ends on the 29th of July, which is a Saturday. The campaign's administrators acknowledge that the funds will be a small part of the amount that the developers at Whatnot Entertainment will need to create "Space Odyssey" a reality. If all goes as planned you could soon be able to blast off and explore new worlds without leaving the comfort of your couch.
