Richard Garriott In Space
All hail the geeks. We continue to show we're the true owners of this sphere. Richard Garriott, creator of Ultima line of games, is in space right now. Lucky dude. I wish I had $30 million laying around to do that.
That's cool. I wonder if there's any way to verify that officially? I like to hear things about (former) members of Orbiter. I have occasional contact with some of them from time to time.
FYI- Roger Wilco, a user of Orbiter when it was up and running, was one of those chosen to have his digital DNA taken to ISS by Garriott.

ReplyDeleteHere's a link to the list of game players who were chosen to have their DNA sent to space. Roger Wilco is living in Cheyenne WY these days.
