Here's an interesting bit of news - the folks at NASA are going to embark on a new frontier that involves sending humans in to space - cyberspace, to be more exact. Here's a snippet of somebody involved in the MMO project that will be developed by NASA.

The purpose of this RFI is to solicit information from organizations with proven immersive synthetic environments expertise who are interested in potentially forming a MMO platform development partnership with NASA. We are currently targeting releasing a Request for Proposal in March 2008.

Will a successful launch of a NASA MMO result in plummeting subscription rates for World of Warcraft?
