Gundam Otaku....IN SPAAAAACE!

[Conekiller]

according to this site (http://theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,16904403%5E29677,00.html ) The 4th "tourist" trip into space will be by a Japanese man who wants to travel dressed as...Char Aznable!

I want to see pictures of this once it finally happens!

[Karl Olson]

Oh that is comedy gold. Seriously.

[Duke]

Wow. That is so friggin awesome! :anime:

I can't believe the article has Char's name inspiration though.

[Beat]

I was expecting the Star Trek nerds to beat the Gundam nerds to space.

Now is the time for mankind to stand up for the future, so we can laugh at it.

[Humble]

This is beyond hilarious. My day is complete. :D

[Nin-Nin69]

Why stop there? He could do a ton while he's up there like Goku, Astro Boy, Naruto, Zoro, GTO, Lupin, Vash, Gene Starwind, Spike Spiegel, BoBoBo, Ryo Saeba, Ichero, and Domo Kun.

Wait, so is this trip based on Char's Deleted Vacation? :p

[HellCat]

Man, you guys need to get with the times. Every forum I go to today seems to be referencing that article, when places like Gunota had the news up over a week ago. Tsk tsk.

I say- more power to the guy. Japanese Gundam fans are really using their love of the stuff to go places, be it this guy or the guy who has made a 'walking' mecha based on the Zaku. Sure this is somewhat...quirky, but do we really need to make fun of the guy?

I want all the video records of this mission to be broadcast
