The first real world event had already taken place at fountains outside Bellagio Hotel and Casino (location made known during a speech Microsoft chairman Bill Gates gave at the CES 2007) on 8th January 2007, as you can see in video below. Loki will appear in more than 10 cities between now and Vista’s Jan. 30 (also contest period) consumer launch date, with stops scheduled in Miami, Phoenix, Berlin, Toronto, Singapore and Seattle. Each puzzle consists of an online element and a real world element which must be combined to arrive at the correct answer.

Each “Easy” puzzle solved will award you 10 points, “Medium” puzzle 20 points, and “Hard” puzzle 50 points, thus making the maximum points you can earned from each box’s puzzles is 320 points, or 1500 points for whole contest promotion period. First box has the theme of “Time passes…”, second “Magic Happens…”, third “Memories fade…”, and forth “People disappear…”.

It is going on for sure. It will be after the Official announcement so we have no conflict of interest. The announcements are being made on Monday from our Offices here in Oklahoma city. The 2:30 time slot is Central time.
Here is the standard briefing.
We are still working out whether we are able to do a Skypecast or if this will be a video recorded conference call to be posted when completed. For now please email me if you would like to join the conference call. If there are any changes I will get them to you ASAP. Also please email me if you have any specific issues or questions you would like us to cover.
Hello Vanishing Point Gamers and Space Enthusiasts!!!!
We are very excited for this web cast/recorded conference. This is the first time in company history we will put our selves out there for the general public to act as the media so often gets to. We are hoping this will be much like a press conference where you will get to talk with, and ask questions to us, the staff, at Rocketplane Kistler. We are looking forward to talking to you about our involvement in the Vanishing Point Game, as well as our involvement in creating privatized space, a world that until recently has been open only to governments and military organizations.
To make this a really special and fun event we are going have our NASA Astronaut and XP Pilot John Herrington be the key note speaker for this web cast. He will talk to you about his past with NASA, flight history, and his current involvement with Rocketplane. He will also talk to about what he is going be doing as the pilot of the XP during space flight. It’s not everyday you get to sit down and have a conversation with an Astronaut so this is going to be really cool. Just to give you a little history on John, he became a Naval Aviator in 1985 and has logged over 4.000 flight hours in over 30 different types of aircraft; he was selected by NASA in April of 1996 and was qualified for flight assignment as a mission specialist. His space flight experience consists of the STS-113 Endeavour mission to visit the International Space Station. During this mission he logged 330 hours in space, including 3 EVAs (Extravehicular Activates) totaling 19 hours and 55 minutes. On October 1, 2005 he retired from the US Navy and left NASA to pursue a career in the commercial space industry, Rocketplane Kistler. “John is a NASA astronaut, however it is his many spectacular talents and abilities that make him valuable to the Rocketplane team,” says George French CEO. “He is a military test pilot, knows flight avionics and astronautics, and knows the environment of space. To us, John is an asset in that he brings education, knowledge, experience, and skills to finish and test our space plane, which will regularly take civilian astronauts into space.”
We will allow you to ask questions to John and for the ones he is unable to answer we will have a few staff people there as well. These staff members will include a design engineer, sales rep, and possibly someone of senior management. This design engineer will be someone who has designed and developed integral parts of the XP.
We are also lucky enough to announce that the winner of the space flight prize will be taking part in this web cast. He/she will talk about there involvement as a contestant and their feelings as winners. We will also let you ask them questions as well.
Lastly, someone from AMD and Microsoft may decide to join us on Monday but nothing has been decided with that.
Feel free to pass this message on to everyone you know. We are looking forward to having a very large and diverse audience. Again this is something we have never done for the general public so I just hope you are half as excited about this as we are. Talk to you soon.
If you would like to take part in this web cast please contact me at gfrench3@rocketplane.com. Write me with your name, where your from, what forums you maybe on, and why you would like to join us. I will contact you with any call-in or connection information you need. Also to be posted is the URL location of the web cast or the recorded conference.
