Minecraft gamers can completely perfect a standard spaceship by themselves and launch it to the Moon because Microsoft has cooperated with NASA.
Plan of cooperation between Microsoft and NASA confirmed by both parties. In the near future, gamers can completely perfect a standard spaceship by themselves and launch it to the Moon in Minecraft. In addition, players are also free to experience the life of an astronaut in space.
As part of the Artemis Program, NASA’s goal is to return humans to the Moon after the first trip since the 1970s. To realize a noble mission spanning decades, NASA has “shaken hands” ‘ with Microsoft to create a series of interwoven lessons in Minecraft. This is expected to inspire young people, build the foundation of ‘astronauts’ and future engineers, and introduce the unique technologies of the Artemis Program.
A representative from NASA shared: ‘NASA is committed to engaging as wide a audience as possible and inspiring generations of Artemis to prepare them for future missions.’
This partnership between Minecraft and NASA is part of an ongoing partnership between Microsoft and NASA.
