Astronaut Chris Hadfield tests Starlink: Battle for Atlas

Well here's a unique perspective on Starlink: Battle for Atlas! In the video above, Astronaut Chris Hadfield checks out the game and offers up some thoughts on the experience.

"As astronauts we live in video-games because simulators allow us to get ready for being on a space ship. A game like Starlink becomes compelling so you can actually imagine yourself doing these things... The whole purpose of these toys, really, is to open the imagination. If it's just a toy on a shelf that's one thing but if you can reconfigure it to your own liking, suddenly you're not just an observer. You're part of what's happening. Interacting with a game is like someone kicking a door open that you never thought you could walk through. To allow a young person to imagine a world that doesn't exist yet and see themselves as part of that change.”
