Ground Control is Dead! Long Live Ground Control!
Howdy folks. Most of you are probably coming here from the My Dream App contest site. As you’re also probably aware, Ground Control was eliminated in the semi-final round and is now out of the running. I went ahead and set up this blog to keep those that are interested in whatever happens to Ground Control abreast of the news. If there is continued interest, I am thinking about putting up a BB for users to banter back and forth and continue the development of ideas. For now, I’m playing catch-up on other projects and will be posting as time permits.
I do want to thank everyone at MDA, including Phil and the staff, the other contestants and especially the community that caught hold of the Ground Control vision. I had a blast and am honored that my idea was able to make it to #7 out of over 2700 other entries. Truly amazing.
It will be impossible for me to keep it alive without your interest and support. I look forward to see what the upcoming weeks and months have in store.
Portal is safe now, so I can take some time off. You’ve had my support from the start, and I’m looking forward to doing what I can to get GC made real. You know very well that I’m no designer, and I’m hardly that skilled at websites, but if you need any help with anything surrounding this idea, count me in.
I’ve got my Ground Control t-shirt now, and I’ll be proudly wearing it (and as soon as the temps get back above 35 here in MN, people will actually be able to read it!).
Best of luck!
I really love the idea for this app, and really hope it is developed to the point where others can enjoy. I know there are a lot of us out here, just dying for an innovative system like this! Thanks again!
Yeah, there are a lot of us left-over MDAers who still want Ground Control to be developed. Keep us posted on it.
Best of luck!
