Richard "Lord British" Garriott traveled to the International Space Station aboard a Russian spacecraft for a cool $30 million in 2008. Nearly four years later, a film documenting his journey will hit theaters.

Man on a Mission: Richard Garriott’s Road to the Stars releases January 13 in theaters and video on demand. The theatrical run is quite small, so fans of the Ultima creator may want to check with their cable provider for on demand screenings. It did win the audience award at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival for best documentary feature so maybe it is worth the wait.

Get a glimpse of Man on a Mission in the trailer below.

Sounds a lot like Tabula Rasa; just a handfull of people messing around in space and Richard Garriott going "man, isn't this ground-breaking?"

I can't wait to see it. All hail Lord British!

This is how you spend money if you are rich. None of this new car bull, or look at my big house or nice bling, you go to space! Now whenever someone says, i'm a doctor, or even I climbed Everest, Mr. Garriott can simply say, "i've been to space cause I wanted to."

I want to see this, but tomorrow I'll forget this even exists.

It saddens me so many people(posters) have no idea who he is. They just remember him for Tabula Rasa and being crazy.

And sure, he is a little nutty these days but cmon, he made Ultima.

Ultima 7 and 7.5 are some of my all time favorites. I was too young at the time to appreciate the ones before about 4 or 5, but 6 and 7 were part of my intro to open world RPGs

Name! Job! Bye!

"So Richard! When can we expect Tabula Rasa 2?"

It was nice of NCSoft to basically fund his entire trip into space now, wasn't it?

I will wait for the licensed video game based on the documentary.

Lord British has always been a little eccentric (Since that's the term you use for rich people that do strange things), but he also spent a very long time crafting a deep world for his games at a time where you didn't see much of that outside of Tolkien or D&D. Judging from some of the, I assume younger, posters, maybe GI should do a series on the founding fathers of video games.
