I think my disinterest may stem from the fact the name Cosmic Exploration sounds pretty cool, but what we're doing on the moon is not.

"Cosmic Construction" might have been better, although for greater verisimilitude, "Cosmic Pressing One Button" would really capture the spirit of the FATEs. They're the closest thing to group content, but only in the sense that everyone is required to be in the same physical location.

I greatly preferred Island Sanctuary, and would rather be building a house there than thwacking crystals on the moon.
