But that&#x27;s my point exactly.  If those games did use actual astronomical data (and I&#x27;m told by foo123456 that Elite: Dangerous actually does) then could those games accomplish Carl Sagan&#x27;s goal of teaching astronomy in a compelling video game setting?<p>Those games&#x27; established plots are apparently compelling enough, but would they drive learning if their current environments were swapped with something based on reality?
