Richard has long wanted to venture into space – it’s been a lifelong dream, and he’s been a major investor for private companies who have been pushing towards reaching that goal. Some may remember his recent jaunt on the “vomit comet”, a trip he enjoyed with Stephen Hawking. He enjoyed the trip so much that he arranged for flights to go up from Austin for AGC, and a handful of developers with cash to burn got to experience it as well.

Richard is finally going to realize his dream. And, this being the Aughts, he’s going to blog about it.

The price tag? Roughly $30 Million Bucks. I only hope that, once I’m rich, I’m equally unafraid to enjoy it.
