NCsoft® and Destination Games® has announced it will launch the "Immortality Drive" - a time capsule with the digitized DNA of select video game players and space aficionados - into orbit when famed game designer Richard Garriott travels to the International Space Station in October 2008.
During this event, code name "Operation Immortality," Tabula Rasa players have a chance to have their DNA sequenced, digitized and sent into space on the Immortality Drive. In addition, all players with active accounts during the month of August 2008 will have their Tabula Rasa characters uploaded to the device, giving them the opportunity to go to space virtually.
