Today Greyark Hightower gave a talk about how the NASA Learning Technologies Office is prototyping a learning game based on the Unreal 3 (3D game) engine. He was invited by the Kuurian Expedition, which regularly holds talks by interesting people.

In 2007, NASA will put out a request for proposals for a full-scale science-based synthetic world. They aren't specifying the platform, but I asked afterwards, and he confirmed that Second Life is one possible platform. (The companies submitting proposals will choose their platforms, not NASA.)
