10 things I learned from Explore/Create: My Life in Pursuit of New Frontiers, Hidden Worlds, and the Creative Spark by Richard Garriott
1. Richard Garriott wrote Ultima (video game) and has lived on the space station: a polymath.
2. Dungeons and dragons is a negotiated narrative. It is game that is played without rules.
3. He is a “serial enthusiast“
4. He made haunted houses as a child for every holiday, including Fourth of July
He eventually made world famous haunted houses in Austin Texas and spent $100,000 or more on each one.
5. He was an early investor in space travel in the 1980s as a 23-year-old. Buzz Aldrin asked him to invest.
6. The international space station is composed of more than 20 compartments that are shipped up there individually. Each nation provides a module as required, and the only requirement is that they have the same size docking section.
When you travel inside the space station from one to another, notice the differences.
