Astronaut: The Best

Astronaut: The Best is an occult management sim where people aren't just numbers: they're incompetent screwups. Your duty is to turn them into national heroes, or the government will have you killed.

Traditionally, the space race is thought of as a gauche way to kill dogs using explosives, but you are expected to conduct your program with class (or be left dead in a ditch). Handle procedurally generated challenges and run a proper space academy using hard work, lies, and witchcraft.
