Richard Garriott is a billionaire. He’s also going to be a space tourist.

The creator of Ultima has amassed a major fortune over time and even the guards over in Moscor call him Lord British.

Forbes.com has posted a lengthy interview with him where he talks about Tabula Rasa, MMOs, rock games and more.

He’s getting ready to spend 10 days orbiting the planet in the International Space Station and in his pocket will be 40 digitized DNA sequences and the whole population of Tabula Rasa.

Check out the excerpts at Forbes.com though they oddly omit where the full interview will show up though one can assume it will be either pay content on their site or in the magazine.
