Can everyone please post in this thread any questions you think could/should be asked?

The main question I'm planning on asking is what Steven's response is to all the "anti orbicon" lobby groups out there, and also whether he feels that the work he is contributing to is ultimately beneficial or detrimental to mankind as a whole.

Oh, and I's also like to know what it's like to take a leak in Zero-gravity Smile

Somebody mentioned asking about the credit card flyer that was passed out at ARGFest, but waiting until the end of the press conference. We wouldn't want them to shut down the press conference for asking about it.

Ask maybe if he's planning on taking his family into space.. I dont know, something about that video. And I think we know by now that the girl is Stevie Mae. Sorry I've been kinda outta the loop with no action for a lil while.

We know already from Cordelia Mae's employee of the month article that she is his wife and works on the station and that their daughter Stevie also lives on the station.

In the Press Releases it mentions a young girl already living on the station:

Quote:
November 16th, 2005 - Orbicon Corporation CEO and President, Dr. Igor Bronco, spoke to a large group of investors and members of the press this afternoon at the Road to the Stars Ribbon Cutting:

Welcome family and friends.
We've gathered here in the beautiful Maldives to unveil the Road to the Stars, our road... humankind's road into the future. Orbicon Corporation has been working hard - building new technology, building bonds, building a scientific community, and in some cases building families - and working long to bring forth what you see before you today.

And what is this that you see before you? That is the question of the hour. As you all know, due to the nature of our business we've had to keep our plans under wraps for quite some time now. We appreciate the trust and the faith you have had in Orbicon even under such circumstances. The time has finally come when we can pull the curtain aside and reveal what our hard work has produced, what your trust and faith have allowed us to produce.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Let me introduce you to the Orbicon Space Elevator.

Later, the congregation retired to the reception area for their chance to speak with the team leaders involved in the project. There was also the opportunity – via satellite – to be escorted on a tour around the station by a station crew member and be given an first hand account of what it is like to live on board by an engineer's young daughter - both of whom are currently living aboard the station.



Is this Stevie? Is Steven Mae an engineer?

I feel the questions should focus on the problems posed by groups PBTE and TheInep, as well as some questions about Stevie Mae.. subtle ones. Ask about his family, about how they enjoy life on the station. I've also thought of a few more technical questions based on my knowledge of the cencepts of a space elvators. I attend a seminar on the subject during college.

I had emailed Davina about their opening for a new IT director, and inquired about why the previous director had left:

I have yet to receive a reply, but this might be good fuel for conversation.

Maybe someone should ask about the connection between Orbicon and Saipets. Why does an investor company have a representative at Orbicon?

Given the security that seems to be in place at Orbicon and their penchant for control, we might want to be very careful about appearing too inquisitive. It might be okay to first ask what an SAI Representative does and go from there, but if they get the feeling we're anything more than a bunch of people who are just interested in the work their doing as a benefit to humanity, they may dummy-up.

Just remember to keep the curtain in place from our side, as well.

That said, can anyone think of a subtle way of bringing the name, Seth into the conversation?
i.e. "I was chatting with an online acquaintance of mine, Seth, the other day and he said, "Blah, blah"."

It's good we're talking to the COO as his job is to know all aspects of his "business". But, if he's anything like those I've worked under, we'll get a lot of, "I'll have to refer that question to our expert in (Appropriate discipline) and get back to you."

I'm kinda glad I wasn't selected for this as I'm not much of a Thespian.
But, here's wishing those that are in it the best of luck.

Oh, and ask for any brochures, station layouts, rules, etc. they may have in electronic form.

[21:38] RobT: A bit. I think I may have asked more than two questions there, but oh well. :j
[21:38] *** ShadowFyr has joined #namethatrock.
[21:38] StevenMae: We don't live in zero-g
[21:38] RobT: Oh!
[21:38] StevenMae: the station spins on an axis defined by the tether
[21:38] *** ShadowFyr has left #namethatrock.
[21:39] StevenMae: there is a zero-g tube that runs from Port Rosetta, all the way to the environmental facilities at the far end.
[21:40] RobT: Cool. Smile
[21:40] StevenMae: the spin creates centripetal forces
[21:40] StevenMae: in the living and garden areas
[21:40] StevenMae: it is about one-third g, much like you might find if you were on the plante Mars
[21:40] StevenMae: planet
[21:41] *** gun has joined #namethatrock.
[21:42] StevenMae: there is a gradient of gravity from that low g in the outer ring of the station, to micro-gravity environments close to the Tube
[21:42] *** gun has signed off IRC (Client Quit).
[21:43] StevenMae: which are great for crystal manufacturing and experiments to see how living systems change in those environments
[21:43] RobT: Very cool. I'm relying on the rest of you to ask the obvious questions as this goes on, by the way.
[21:43] StevenMae: The toilets are really Dr. Martha Crappert's area
[21:43] StevenMae: but the areas that have some gravity, they work the same as they do here
[21:44] StevenMae: we have low water flush units
[21:44] StevenMae: in the micro gravity environments there are vacuum based systems much like you might find in the Shuttles, the International Space Station and MIR
[21:45] StevenMae: Given the low gravity on the Station, we do have to excercise
[21:45] * RobT dreams of going up one day
[21:46] RobT: thanks a lot Dr. Mae!
[21:46] StevenMae: we have a fully equiped gymnasium
[21:46] StevenMae: to keep our bone density up
[21:46] Robert_W: I have a related question.
[21:46] StevenMae: and we also have to go down the Tether to the ground every 5 or 6 months to keep our muscles in shape
[21:47] Robert_W: NVM
[21:47] Robert_W: Smile
[21:47] StevenMae: Mr. Williams, you are next
[21:47] StevenMae: have you another question?
[21:48] StevenMae: Will you excuse me for a moment, there is an urgent call I need to deal with
[21:48] *** skitls{B} has joined #namethatrock.
[21:48] Robert_W: Are there already commercial ventures already in place. If so is this why a new credit card was issued?
[21:49] StevenMae: How do I change my name here?
[21:49] RobT: You type "/nick newname"
[21:49] Robert_W: Take your time, I understand the call would take sometime given the obvious delay.
[21:49] *** StevenMae is now known as Raidar-St.
[21:50] *** Raidar-St is now known as RaidStevi.
[21:50] RobT: Hello.
[21:50] RichMoria: I take it we're not longer speaking to Dr. Mae?

[21:51] RichMoria: Wow, this is a sudden development =0
[21:51] RaidStevi: They said that they were going to have pen-pals, but they are only giving the letters to the grown ups
[21:51] RaidStevi: Kids should have penpals not the grownups
[21:51] Robert_W: Dp you have any games to keep you busy?
[21:51] RobT: Maybe you could ask them if you could have a penpal?
[21:51] Robert_W: Do^
[21:51] RichMoria: Do you get to talk to people outside of the station at all?
[21:51] RaidStevi: I play games on the internet
[21:52] AmberJoy: Stevie, I have children who could be your penpal.
[21:52] RaidStevi: Cool

[21:56] *** skitls{B} has left #namethatrock.
[21:56] RaidStevi: and I take internet classes
[21:57] AmberJoy: Where do you take internet classes?
[21:57] RaidStevi: boys have cooties
[21:57] K_Smith: where do you take your internet classes?
[21:57] RichMoria: we do?
[21:57] * RichMoria checks his hair
[21:57] Robert_W: Space cooties?
[21:57] RaidStevi: he says that girls have cooties , but I don't have any cooties
[21:57] AmberJoy: Stevie, do you have a robot pet?
[21:57] RaidStevi: I do my classes on my computer in our house
[21:57] RobT: Raidar is a robot, right?
[21:57] RaidStevi: I have Raidar. He's a good dog
[21:58] RichMoria: a SAIpet?
[21:58] RaidStevi: Don't say that too loud. He might hear you
[21:58] RichMoria: Are there any real animals on the station?
[21:58] RaidStevi: he's my friend
[21:58] Robert_W: We won't tell him
[21:58] RaidStevi: just the bugs they are using in the labs
[21:58] RichMoria: What kind of bugs?
[21:58] RaidStevi: and Dr. Martha's algea tanks
[21:58] RichMoria: cootiebugs? Wink
[21:59] RaidStevi: no. that's silly. Grownups can't catch cootie bugs
[21:59] Robert_W: Unless they are Space Cooties
[21:59] RobT: hehe
[21:59] RichMoria: Space cooties can be caught by adult
[21:59] RichMoria: *adults
[22:00] Robert_W: lol
[22:00] RobT: so what's your favorite thing about living in space, Stevie?
[22:00] AmberJoy: Stevie, do you spend a lot of time with Davina?
[22:00] *** RaidStevi has signed off IRC (Quit: (Link: http://chat.efnet.org/)http://chat.efnet.org/ ).
[22:00] RichMoria: oh no
[22:00] RobT: Uh oh!
[22:00] Robert_W: Sad
[22:00] RichMoria: I hope Daddy Mae isn't angry
[22:00] RobT: J2? L3? What's going on?
[22:00] RichMoria: I don't suppose one of the investors or lawyers here can say what's going on?
[22:00] Robert_W: Could have been a solar flare
[22:01] Robert_W: meh
[22:01] RichMoria: We have no interest in scientific factuality =P
[22:01] tim_w: speak for yourself!
[22:01] tim_w: Smile
[22:01] Robert_W: lol
[22:02] TEP: It appears that Steven is having some connection problems.
[22:02] *** RaidStevi has joined #namethatrock.
[22:03] Robert_W: Maybe we touched a nerve, maybe the grown-ups are developing a new strain of cooties after all
[22:03] Robert_W: Doh
[22:03] RobT: Welcome back Stevie!
[22:03] RichMoria: Hi, Stevie =)
[22:03] AmberJoy: Stevie, do you spend a lot of time with Davina?
[22:03] TEP: Stevie - maybe you should wait for your Dad to come back
[22:03] *** Mode change "+v RaidStevi" for channel #namethatrock by J2.
[22:03] RichMoria: It's okay, TEP, we can talk to her =)
[22:04] Robert_W: Sorry if we got you into trouble
[22:05] TEP: I'm not sure what could be keeping Steven
[22:06] Robert_W: Would you like to field a few questions then?
[22:06] J2: Well, if Steven seems to be preoccupied, I would be happy to take a question or two about SAI Pets while we wait?
[22:07] TEP: Are there any saipets related questions?
[22:07] RichMoria: I have one
[22:07] RobT: Definitely!
[22:07] tim_w: will they be in stores for Christmas?
[22:07] RichMoria: I was just wondering how SAIPets contributions are relevant to the project?
[22:08] J2: Well, maybe not quite in time for Christmas, but we are hoping to open sales to the general public as soon as possible.
[22:08] RobT: How are they different from AIBO?
[22:08] J2: And as follow-up to Rich, SAI Pets contributions started on a smaller scale - we have a private agreement with Dr. Mae that allowed him a pre-sale version of our ViDo robotic dog.
[22:09] K_Smith: do you expect the "predator" models to replace traditional police / guard dogs?
[22:09] J2: (Wow I should brush up on my typing skills!)
[22:09] J2: As far as I know, we are focused on recreational models... although with the security possibilties, who knows?
[22:10] J2: I certainly wouldn't be at liberty to give anything away -- but let me say that I would love to see SAI Pets on the force.
[22:10] J2: Any other questions?
[22:10] RichMoria: I don't suppose some SAIPets were donated for the runnerups here? Wink
[22:10] K_Smith: Is there any danger of a "home" model becoming aggressive?
[22:11] RobT: There are some suggestions from Stevie's blog that Raidar can search satellite maps of the planet and connect to the internet. What are some things that SAIPets can do in that regard?
[22:11] *** blipp has joined #namethatrock.
[22:11] Robert_W: I would imagine that SAIpets could serve alot of civic functions, such as assisting in Search and Rescue operations
[22:11] J2: Rich: Unfortunately, no, although I am certain Crystal will enjoy meeting young Miss Mae's ViDo on her visit to the station - she could give a better first-person report
[22:12] J2: K_Smith: Again, I'm not a technician, so I couldn't give the exact numbers, but I have been assured that SAI Pets are entirely safe for children and have been tested and double-tested in regards to the security functions.
[22:13] J2: RobT: We're pleased to say that our pets are fully able to connect with a wireless connection (no roaming fees!) to the internet, which, as you can imagine, opens up a world of possibilities
[22:13] J2: I believe Stevie Mae uses her Raidar to update her website, if I'm not mistaken.
[22:13] RobT: Very cool. Do SAIPets communicate with each other over long distances, then?
[22:13] *** RaidStevi is now known as StevenMae.
[22:14] tim_w: What does the SAI in SAI Pets stand for?
[22:14] RobT: Welcome back Dr. Mae!
[22:15] J2: ah Dr. Mae - I'll turn the floor back over to the main event of the evening. Thanks for all your questions!
[22:15] *** Mode change "+v StevenMae" for channel #namethatrock by J2.
[22:15] RichMoria: Thanks for fielding questions from us, J =)
[22:15] StevenMae: I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you
[22:15] RobT: I'm looking forward to hearing more about SAIPets in the future, J
[22:15] StevenMae: Unfortunately, something has come up that requires my attention.
[22:16] tim_w: not NASA again?
[22:16] RobT: No worries Dr. Mae. Is everything allright?
[22:16] AmberJoy: Thank you for your time, Dr. Mae.
[22:16] StevenMae: If the remaining winners will e-mail me their questions, I will try to get as many answered as possible on the station faq
[22:16] * AmberJoy nods
[22:16] AmberJoy: Thank you again, Dr. Mae.
[22:16] Robert_W: OK
[22:16] RichMoria: Thank you, Dr. Mae =)
[22:16] StevenMae: it will be on our new station website
[22:16] Robert_W: Thank you for your time
[22:16] K_Smith: is your email working now, Dr. Mae?
[22:17] tim_w: Thank you Steven. Thanks for the Competition!
[22:17] RobT: Thank you dr. mae!
[22:17] StevenMae: wasileistation.com
[22:17] StevenMae: Congradulations everyone
[22:17] K_Smith: I attempted to email you but it was bounced back, announcing that your "mailbox was full"
[22:17] tim_w: Congratulations to Crystal too
[22:17] tim_w: take care of her up there
[22:17] StevenMae: I'll have the IT dept. look into it Mr. Smith
[22:17] Robert_W: Congratz to all
[22:17] *** StevenMae has left #namethatrock.
[22:18] RobT: Well, unless we've some closing thoughts from the lawyers and investors...
[22:18] Robert_W: Does this end the conference?
[22:18] *** L3 has left #namethatrock.
[22:18] *** blipp has signed off IRC ().
[22:18] *** TEP4 has left #namethatrock.
[22:18] Robert_W: Looks like it
[22:19] RichMoria: Oh well, it was thrilling while it lasted
[22:19] RobT: Yay everyone!
[22:19] RichMoria: Stevie was fun =)
[22:19] Robert_W: I have a log of this and will post unless some else plans to
[22:19] RobT: Stevie is SO CUTE
[22:19] RichMoria: shhh.. we still have spies
[22:19] *** TEP has left #namethatrock.
[22:19] RichMoria: nevermind
[22:19] J2: Nice meeting all of you - be sure to look for SAI Pets in stores! (They pay me to say that)
[22:19] tim_w: thanks j2
[22:19] RobT: heh, seeya J
[22:19] J2: Night!
[22:19] *** J2 has left #namethatrock.

Actually, it's another reference to Acheron. I believe in the game it was spelled Landau, Luckman and Lake or something like that (going by a search - not because I played it).

There is also another email address for steven mae (i assume) at maefamily.info, in the top right corner 'contact'.

The email is webmasterSPLATmaefamily.info

I didn't email it, but hopefully this mailbox isn't full...
