...and while I would try it if I could, judging from the description on
the website, I'm not sure this really does much to reignite the dream in
its players. The main message here appears to be "living on the Moon is
dangerous, your life support is likely to fail, and if you don't fix it
quickly, everybody dies."

Not the message I'm hoping to get across.

Best,
