A few months back, I posted a request for members of this sub (and others) to respond to a survey on the impact of video games on their perception of scientific endeavors, in particular, interstellar travel. I later presented that paper at the IAC 2022. Below are the paper, video, and presentation links (the links will be active through the end of the month).
Thanks to everyone who responded to the survey! It was greatly appreciated!
There's much more work to be done on this topic–the intent was to introduce the idea of video games to space industry personnel as serious tools for engaging the public.
