Editor note

This game had been out for a month when STS-51-L broke apart and resulted in the deaths of all seven crew members. Sales quickly rose above expected levels. Publishers decided to rework the packaging and economics for sales of the game. A sticker added to the package read "Part of the sales of this product will be donated to the childrens fund for the astronauts of mission 51L." to note one of the changes to potential customers. The increased sales turned out to be short lived, but the donations continued for as long as the game was produced.
