You may know that Richard "Lord British" Garriott has left his day-to-day game design duties at NCsoft to go train for a flight to the International Space Station in October. You may also know that he plans to take a hard drive filled with digitized DNA patterns of real people with him. However, later tonight you will be able to see him talk about this plan to a nationwide audience on the latest episode of Comedy Central's talk show The Colbert Report.

Yep, Steven Colbert, friend of the nation and enemy of bears, will be talking directly to the man who will take Colbert's own digital DNA into space at 11:30 ET tonight. This isn't the first time Colbert has had a famous game designer. Over a year ago he had Will Wright on his show talking about Spore.
