Asteroid Bolt

THE CHALLENGE: Space Recreation
Journey to Mars

There is a great deal of interest from national space agencies to go to the Moon and Mars. ESA wants to go to the Moon and establish a village there. NASA wants to go to Mars. Astronauts and Cosmonauts from all over the world are already living aboard the ISS. What can they do in their free time? It can’t be all about reading books or game play on computers. Think of new sports or games that could take into account the low gravity (e.g. a space lacrosse game, extreme basketball). What about real or virtual experiences involving the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon? Or following the paths of Sojourner, Spirit or Curiosity on Mars using a form of cross-country skiing? Think of new ways for to astronauts to use their free time. To present your results develop an app that makes use of virtual reality tools.

Explanation

Asteroid Bolt is a Virtual Reality experience in the Asteroid Belt, a circumstellar disc occupied by asteroids found between Mars and Jupiter, wherein you will be destroying asteroids.

As space colonization is already being considered for human race survival, NASA is eyeing Mars as the most viable option. However, with its close proximity to the asteroid belt, it has a higher chance for Impact Event (asteroid collisions) so there is a great need for Space Shuttles to destroy them before it happens.

With our game Asteroid Bolt, your task is to blast these asteroids in order to defend your Spaceship, Mars, and ultimately prevent human extinction from galactic impact. This game is made for astronauts in missions for their recreation.
