Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
In recent years, Garriott has conquered incredible adventures that span the globe including searching for meteorites on the continent of Antarctica, tracking mountain gorillas in Rwanda, canoeing down the Amazon, deep ocean hydrothermal vent expeditions and dives to the Titanic.
Now, Garriott will embark on his most incredible adventure to date: space exploration. To monitor Richard Garriott’s mission, please visit his space website.
Garriott was born in Cambridge, England and raised in Nassau Bay, Texas. In 1980, Garriott attended the University of Texas at Austin where he developed the Ultima computer game series.
Garriott, along with his father and brother, created Origin Systems, a private video game publisher. In 1992, Garriott sold Origin Systems to Electronic Arts. In 1999, Garriott left Electronic Arts and in 2000 he formed Destination Games and partnered with NCsoft.
In November 2007, his latest game, Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, was launched in North America and in the European Union.
Space Adventures itself offers “a variety of programs such as the availability today for spaceflight missions to the International Space Station and around the moon, Zero-Gravity flights, cosmonaut training, spaceflight qualification programs and reservations on future suborbital spacecrafts”.
The private/state co-operation between Space Adventures, Russia and the USA is certainly making history with every launch, being one small step for private companies getting into space, and another giant leap - with still yet so far to go - before we are in a sci-fi world of space travel for all!
