The two were out for lunch. Long lunch. Good meeting that was. Beer and sun. Sunglasses. Well the older one had sunglasses on. The younger one was just squinting. They were under an umbrella but the umbrella didn't block all the sun.
What was that you said... the research?
The old man straightned his face. Oh yeah.
Spacecity
? yeah. They just made sure people could actually watch people from up there and do real time interactions. Stuff like that. Not really sure myself actually. Something those eggheads over in Silicon Valley convinced corporate to do.
The youngster nodded, looking unconvinced. He sipped more beer. He then asked, so they put a bunch of people, like thousands, over more than 20 years up into space just to do this test. So we could make this new interactive game?
The older man now leaned backwards. Then forward. Wiped the white pizza crumb off his beard and then leaned back forward. Hey, hey. We're doing some interesting work here. Why are you deprecating it like that?
The kid tried to smile. he did smile. But he didn't know if his boss believed it.
