NASA announced their exciting space MMO Astronaut: Moon, Mars, and Beyond more half year ago. Within such a long time, there was little message about it, but just a moonbase alpha was announced to be available on early 2010. Now, Massively.com just shared us a brand new demo video about this special space game.

Astronaut: Moon Mars and Beyond - Moonbase Alpha Video

Back in November, we talked about an exciting space MMO in the works from NASA, called Astronaut: Moon, Mars, and Beyond. The information they had at the time was pretty extensive, and left us anxious to find out more and try it out.

We're getting our wish, as NASA has announced that Moonbase Alpha, a "mini-demo game', will be available on Steam around January of 2010. Moonbase Alpha gives a real look at NASA Constellation program design details that are planned by NASA for 2020.

The full game is set farther in the future -- around the year 2035 -- "but the ability to explore our own near-future moon missions are in scope in the much-anticipated STEM-learning game sponsored by NASA Learning Technologies."

Want a closer look? NASA has a clip of the demo game to give you an idea of what they have up their collective sleeves. Follow along after the jump for a peek.
