Holy sh!t I got an email from John Carmack :)

[beer]

Ok well not really
I'm on an amateur rocketry email list and he just sent a message to it. I didn't think it was him at first until I looked at the headers, what is he doing on a rocketry list anyways?

doens't he have some teamx and he's trying to be the first amature team to put somebody in space? I dunno i read this somewhere

 

[Atvar]

I remember reading an article or an interview with him a while ago where he talked about his interest in the space program and rockets. He talked about looking into that field after he finishes with games. Some people are just too damn smart hehe

I remember reading that a group that is is in is trying to build a rocket that can travel to space. It is pretty interesting, do a google search on it and i'm sure you'll dig something up.

I can just see a guy drive up in a diablo, get out and setup a little model rocket from walmart

He is trying to win that $100,000 prize by putting a rocket into orbit.. Yea, he does like rockets. He also likes previously fat computer geek women who miraculously lose weight and become hot and still have programming skillz.

Carmack also sounds more like Bill Gates (nerdy) than Bill Gates. However, he is still cool at heart.

I think you have him confused with Romero. He is married to the woman that was fat and lost weight got a boob job and posed in playboy.

He'll email you a response if you pose a question that can't be answered by doing your own research. I asked him about one of his keyboards that had a headphone jack built-in, and he told me what it was.

I stand corrected.

 

I wrote him a long time ago asking if the Quake 2 source would be released and he wrote back. I never washed my email client after that to this day.
