Aspiring astronauts must combine modern physics and engineering knowledge with mathematical ability to stay alive and complete the mission. 

CEO of Project Whitecard, Khal Shariff said,

“Working in collaboration with NASA, University of California Irvine, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation on concepts used in Starlite: Astronaut Rescue and Starlite the larger game is the opportunity of a lifetime.
