I think this is getting way out of proportion. People are getting way into these games. These games are made to be fun. When people are take is personaly its not a game anymore. Iv heard stories that people have commiteted suacide becase there char died in everquest. I agree that this is an "out" for some people but companies are going to have to take a deeper look at the way there games are affecting there players. What is this going to lead to...are there going to be the same laws in todays life in a game. Whats the point of playing the game anymore. I know people that play these games just to steal and kill people. As sad as that sounds. If someone steals your sword , steal it back. There is the law. And if losing your sword makes you want to kill someone....dont play the game.
I think this event is absolutly great for for the entire world. This will promote private spaceflight and will improve the speed with it is as routine as air flight today. But I personally think this is just a money making scheme for the goverment. Isent Nasa currently working on a next generation spaceship because there currnt spaceships are from the 60s. 10 million dollars is nothing when they get the bluprints for a new spaceship. There is no risk for them. On top of this if this space flight thing becomes more popular and people are forking out the money to ride this.....who is going to profit from this.... the privatly owned companies or Nasa.
