Simulation Outline
You are the Commander of a series of Missions to Mars, you have to decide on a strategy, build probes, prepare rockets and land some of them safely on Mars. Debriefing sessions follow each mission. Budgets are always tight and you must manage yours carefully, but you can increase funding - by completing successful or secret missions. By the time you make it to the end, you'll be wondering if you could have completed the overall mission more cheaply and thus save more of the mission funds for your next project...

...The Next Project
Following completion of MTM, players can record their scores on an Internet scoreboard (for the Universe to see) and move on to an online extension game that will test their knowledge of Space (but also allows research on the Internet).

Successful candidates will be given priviledged access to a special area on the web site and be able to print out a unique certificate.
