Save from Aliens

A strange little side quest

A small trivia drop for Save from Aliens: The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of about 385,000 kilometres, and surface gravity there is roughly one-sixth as strong as Earth's. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. That long chain of experiments is part of why space still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
