Business Leadership Week is bringing some big names to Texas State.
Megan Turney has more in this Bobcat Update…
Richard Garriott, a computer gaming entrepreneur and space tourist, spoke
to students Monday about the importance of privatizing the business of
space travel.
Garriott, who spent 30-million dollars to spend 12 days in orbit, told
students that it takes a lot of motivation and hard work to get into space. 
SB
Garriott urged students to stop thinking of space travel as a
something reserved only for astronauts and to pursue space travel
commercially. Garriott said that with modern techonology, space
travel is relatively easy, as the materials needed to send a rocket
into space are all available for purchase on the internet.
SB
Garriott was the Spotlight Speaker of Business Leadership Week, hosted
by the McCoy College of Business.
