>>Isn't this old news? I thought it was pretty common
>>knowledge (at least among the aerospace/gaming industry)
>>that Carmack was heading such a venture. Unless there were
>>some new developments in that article, I'm not quite sure why
>>that's considered news.

It seems this person knows about it, but just doesn't follows it up... that much.. I guess he expects that the mass media will report it.. when something happens.

Nice to know there is atleast some intrest... too bad they don't find this community...

>>Lets hope his rocket is better than his games.

Some personal opinions... I guess also a lot other people will look the same at space vehicles like he does to games.... some people may find a rocket terrible.. just because the color sucks and it smells... lol
But for games... john carmack really used unique techniques for making games... same he's doing for space

Yes it's odd and sad... but I guess it will change in the future, when most people see at least that IT IS POSSIBLE.. when it's a proven succes.. When that happens... we'll be just a few of the thousands of forum members... but we'll remember the real people who helped to get this here active _________________ Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, 1892

I found some of their testing techniques to be wanting in terms of sophistication and formal methodology, but hey, it's a whole new ball game now. I think there's a bright future for Carmack's company, although it may be moving slowly for the time being. You are right, though; at some point this private space industry will hit critical mass and the media will be all over it.
