Moonbase Alpha: NASA's video game

Moonbase Alpha was a video game released in 2010, developed by a handful of game studios in partnership with NASA, which placed you in a damaged future moonbase in need of repair. The game is best known for its brief status as a meme, thanks to the text-to-speech functionality, but its story didn't end there. Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Jules Wang.
