Manga Explains NASA Mission

Posted by Zonk on from the connecting-up-the-disciplines dept.

YetAnotherName writes "Anime fans working with NASA? Yes. Tokyopop has the scoop on planetary scientists who made manga to explain a NASA mission, complete with spandex-clad, big-eyed lead character and robotic dogs. You can also download the manga in color or black/white PDF files. (Disclaimer: my spouse is one of the authors.)" If you sit through the talk about dogs, it's actually pretty interesting.

  2. It was cool and all... by mikeophile · · Score: 5, Funny

    but the tentacle scene was a bit gratuitous.

  3. not a manga. by timerider · · Score: 5, Insightful

    reason: made in america by americans.
    manga is the japanese word for comic, so by definition its a manga when its made by japanese people, as well as manwha if its made by koreans.

    putting that aside, its not even drawn manga-style.

    putting that aside, its not even funny or entertaining.

  4. Nudity by ehiris · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is there nudity because there's no good Manga without nudity.
    Hentai would be even cooler. A hentai NASA project could rock the geek world.
