I named my rock "Ages", but I should have named it "Pet".

Now that it's launched, does that mean Orbital Colony gets its own section now?

And given the rock will probably be an asteroid, maybe a "suckup" approach and suggesting it be named after an Orbicon staffer might be good? Just to see the response if any?

Edit: Thrown in with the ever so creative "The Rock of Discovery"...

I decided to toss the info adress on the Orbicon Corporation website an e-mail to see if anything comes up. Time will tell if my bait works and I get a bite. (Ow. I lose points for that fishing analogy...)

Message is as follows.

Quote:
Subject: A Thank You From An Interested Observer


As someone who has since childhood stared up at the stars, studied astronomy and space station theories as a hobby, and even shamefully admits to having once liked Star Trek though simply for it's extra-terrestrial nature, it fills me with such excitement to see what the Orbicon Corporation is doing. Thank you for taking the step into making the dreams of people like myself come true and helping humanity leave this cradle we are quickly outgrowing in spite of the likelyhood of the simple-minded standing in your way.

I am curious, however, as to the nature of this most interesting of endeavors. How do you plan to cope with long periods of weaker gravity? I know that rotation works, but I know not how fast something must spin to attain Earth-like gravity. Are there plans for zero-g manufacturing some time in the comming decades? Or of turning sight to the moon?

I know I must be asking far too many questions, and understand fully if answers are not given. Know that Orbicon's mission has my full moral support. You are all great people for what you are attempting to do.


Who knows, I might get a tug on the line. (Note to self: Smack myself if I do that again.) I'll edit my post if I do.


EDIT: Caught something already. (Note: ... I hate me...) Automated response.

Quote:

Thank you for your interest in Orbicon Corporation.

Currently, our email system is not fully operational. In the meantime, please check our website for exciting new updates. Big things are in store here at Orbicon!

Sincerely,

Orbicon Corporation

But hey, at least I stayed in character.

Ok, so, I named my rock "Frog Rock", because, umm, well, it pointed Sam and Max towards Bumpusville y'know!

Btw, I had to enter my address as Dordrecht, Alabama, The Netherlands, because there is no way to leave the "State" thing blank if you're not from the USA/Canada...

[EDIT] I e-mailed tech support about this, and also pointed them at the broken link to the tech support e-mail address... Smile

Also, did anyone recieve that e-mail "containing your info"? I didn't up till now...

Trout me if you will, but this is the image that t0mmy found commented out in the source code for the main page.



[Edit] It is in the Top Table of all of the Orbiconcorp pages, not just the main page.
