From Designing Video Games To Exploring The Deep Sea And Outer Space

Richard Garriot de Cayeux is revered for his video game creations. Now, he’s set his sights on getting ordinary citizens  into outer space.

Richard Garriot de Cayeux presents 'From the Beginnings of Computer Games to Private Space' Flight at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 16 at the Linda Hall Library. The event is sold out but will be available on a livestream.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate. Email me at lisa@kcur.org.
