Richard Garriott Claims the Moon
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
maybe he'll stop making shitty games now go live on the moon or something... i dunno... only garriot game i ever played was the tabula rasa beta, and that was pure shit... also he comes off as a pretentious wanker... this.. is still kinda cool, i want moon property...
Technically he does own a piece of the Moon. The rover is on the Moon, and he owns the rover, so he owns something that's on the Moon, he owns a piece of the Moon, a man made piece, but on the friggin' Moon!
Now if he were to use that rover as a giant space cannon to disintegrate NCsoft. That would be awesome.

I bet that he has already invented his own universal moon language with it's own set of moon runes.
Even if he did legally own some land up there, what's he going to do to the superpower nation that ever decides to build something on it? China would tell him "If you don't like it, feel free to go up there & kick us off." 
Sounds good, but that's only because no one can really build anything or do anything up there anyway. After travel to the moon becomes economically practical, (Hydrogen3 isotope is perfect for fusion reactors, almost non-existent on Earth, but plentiful on the moon,) you know that agreement's going to go flying out the window & the wars would start anyway.geldonyetich said:
Good luck killing all those Martians first. Oh, you must believe the Martian civilization died out millions of years ago. Nice. All that left over alien stuff just laying around...Kuchinawa212 said:
If NASA had been keep doing what they did in the 60's we would probably have been able to land on Mars already so I think he's going to be able to visit his Lunokhod 2 in the near future :]
Richard Garriott will be the first man on mars in a privately funded shuttle of insanity. God speed Richard, god speed.
For the record, I think Garriott is awesome. Have you guys seen the video tours of his house? It's absolutely amazing and pretty much exactly what I'd do if I had the resources to pull it off. We may poke fun - gently - but I bet there are a lot of us who'd love the chance to do the shit he does.
It's only a government treaty. Private citizens don't fall under the same rules, but other than Garriott (at the moment) the issue really hasn't had an opportunity to come up. If the various corporate space flight attempts continue to progress, it will become an issue though.geldonyetich said:
Garriott is awesome. If I had millions of dollars, I'd build a castle and try to go to the moon too.Andy Chalk said:
Oh, Richard Garriot... He really is the Chairface Chippendale of game developers.
