talk to Owen and Sergei...much more interesting...are they still kickin'?

[ALAN ADDS: Yup. In fact, Owen and Alexander Volkov (Sergei's father) are supposed to be on hand when Richard and Sergei land.]

I've heard that that is a pretty good game.

I was a year behind Owen at the University of Oklahoma. I believe he was on the NROTC Rifle team with some of us.

It was clear then that he is an extremely intelligent guy but at the same time I recall that he was very low key in school.

Congratulations to him and his son.

I've known Richard for many, many years. He's always been a very ecclectic and very interesting man. One who is extremely intelligent, yet still very much in tune with the child that still resides within; someone who will allow his imagination to take him anywhere he pleases.

He's also a very generous person, and I'm glad to call him friend.

What we should be doing is placing a strong transmitter on the Moon to send a single to Earth stating what is happening to the climate at the present time. Hopefully future inheritors of this lovely planet will follow our technological path and start listening into space before they screw up as well.

I dearly hope that the DNA "finger prints" do not all belong to liberal comedy stars. The aliens will wonder how we got to space in the first place. It must have been from hot air balloons!!

Gee, what a wonderful journey to contribute to art, science, and games. The bottom line is the greatest contribution in my opinion: The journey will open up more private individual spacefliers. The question is: affordability.
