Too bad he didn't go for his runner up. cost effective/mass produceable fission reactors could save humanity.


Carmack creates AI, AI is used to invent effective fission reactors. Check and mate.


- fusion reactors then used to power spaceX ships to go to Mars... wait what!

As long as his next project is not teleportation gateways i guess we are safe.

[edit] it's also 2019 :D

> In the year 2019, the player character (an unnamed space marine) has been punitively posted to Mars after assaulting a superior officer, who ordered his unit to fire on civilians. The space marines act as security for the Union Aerospace Corporation's radioactive waste facilities, which are used by the military to perform secret experiments with teleportation by creating gateways between the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. In 2022, Deimos disappears entirely and "something fraggin' evil" starts pouring out of the teleporter gateways, killing or possessing all personnel.
