Dr. Jack Moss' son is my eye doctor. From what I understand, Dr. Moss thought that his recording of the catastrophe was only of any value to himself and possibly his family, as testimony that they had witness the event first hand. He believed, especially with all the media coverage, that he had nothing of scientific value to offer NASA.
Like a lot of things, with time we often forget we have them;)
The quote on the Evil Avatar page that the Inquirer sourced is the same quote, only people misinterpreted the "only it isn't as fast" to be refering to the RSX, not the 7800 GTX.
When I first read this article, it sounded like total baloney to me, but then I realized, I'd seen something very similar once before. Several Universities have CAVE systems which use a series of projectors to immerse the user in a 3D environment. The CAVE system I saw, approximately 10 years ago, was rather primitive, even though it was running on a 128 CPU machine with 6 other dedicated machines (with state of the art video cards) controlling each projector. However, now-a-days they can run on a single PC.
I'm just not sure how it could be implimented with a one screen system. I also don't think the market is ready for mass-market VR gaming, but Nintendo's never let things like that bother them in the past.
Personally, I don't think its very likely to be true, but it is possible, and similar things have been done in the past.

as if anyone had any doubt with that horrid green and stupid brain it would fail? That site was designed to appeal to 5-9 year olds, not D&D Gamers.
