Former CEO of MirCorp, Jeffrey Manber, determinedly turns the conversation away from the hardware. He asked, what fun things can be accomplished? Sure, science and technology can be accomplished inside a CubeSat, but what about games of skill or chance? There is, as he points out, a proven business model for using entertainment to pioneer new markets. His presentation is short and to the point.
In response to a question about why not simulate gaming in a weightless environment, a young member of the audience blurts out "because space is fun!" and talks about how zero-gravity games could be held using real time space to ground communications. Point made.
