Operation Immortality partners with Planet Make-Over.

The Operation Immortality project has joined forces with Planet Make-Over in an effort to bring more attention to the plight of the planet. Aiding in the effort are Rock Stars Eric Johnson and Patice Pike who will add their digitized DNA to the group being sent into space. The digitized DNA will accompany Richard Garriott as he hurls himself to the International Space Station on October 12, 2008.

Planet Make-Over's founder Gary Fortin explains how saving the planet isn't all business:

"The Concept of Operation Immortality is much more than a theme to an online game. The Earth's population needs to quickly adjust our behavior regarding global warming or else fiction quickly becomes our new reality. When we learned that Richard Garriott will be conducting environmental research while in space, the stars all aligned to support him," said Gary Fortin, creator and executive producer of Planet Make-Over. "Planet Make-Over is about saving the planet. The message is serious but the process can, and should be fun."
