Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager

A turn-based strategy about the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, which begins in the mid-1950s. The player leads a space agency and aims to put a person on the Moon first, managing its budget, opening programs, funding research and development, recruiting personnel, and launching missions.

The campaign lets players direct NASA, the Soviet Space Agency, or the fictional Global Space Agency (GSA), which combines programs from major space agencies. In the GSA campaign, government requests and short-term goals shape the agency’s work, with exploration taking priority over competition. A sandbox mode is available for all three agencies, allowing programs to develop without political pressure. Projects include satellites, crewed spacecraft, and Mars probes, as well as concepts that never progressed beyond the drawing board.
