One of the basic principles behind the design of Shackleton Crater is to maintain the greatest possible degree of scientific (and historical) accuracy. Hundreds of hours of research have gone into just the first few months of the development cycle of Shackleton Crater, and much more exploration of the vast repository of brilliant scientific discovery and data which is available today is yet to come as the team at Joe Got Game continues to move forward. Here is a list of some of the resources utilized so far at Joe Got Game in the making of Shackleton Crater.
