The game is based on realistic physics, and has already led to several scientifically relevant insights. For example, it turns out that inverted endcaps (like the bottom of a soda can) increase the stability of a cylindrical colony, and that the best place to build an early colony is probably low-Earth orbit. (I co-authored a recent paper about that one with Al Globus.)
We've just launched a KickStarter campaign to fund the second major phase of development, where you get to go inside the colony and manage your orbital city in detail.
Our goal is to both entertain and inspire. Please check it out, and if you think it has merit, consider giving us your support. Thank you!
