Lord British To Conduct Experiments On ISS 60
CR0WTR0B0T writes "Richard Garriott, AKA Lord British, will be part of three experiments on the International Space Station. 'Garriott has a ticket to the space station because he is an orbital spaceflight client of Space Adventures, the only company that provides commercial human space missions ... Garriott will be the first person in space who has had photorefractive keratectomy eye surgery. NASA has approved the PRK procedure for astronauts but has not yet been able to test its effects. Garriott will help scientists figure out if visual acuity of a PRK patient changes in orbit as inner eye pressure increases by up to 50% during space flights.' Mostly, NASA wants to know if he can heal himself or provide resurrection to the other astronauts in case the experiments goes awry."

Damn you for not providing more information! How can he provide resurrection in space: the d20s will float away! Will they provide slighty magnetized dice and a ferrous gameboard? Velcro-covered dice and playing field? Dice in a centrifuge?
Tell us more!

When asked why he wanted to go into space, Richard explained he wanted to "experience more!"
Most critics, however, doubt he will be able to destroy 20 enemy vessels in a single mission.

This is just a desperate attempt by Lord British to 8x8 his way to full Magic Resist.

He doesn't need dice. He just needs blood moss, garlic, and ginseng.
