As a Gundam fan, this whole cosplay in space idea seems pretty neat.

However, as a friend of mine just pointed out, isn't the idea of Char in a space station orbiting the earth...somewhat dangerous?

Might want to find the nearest reinforced bunker, especially if you happen to be in Sydney or Tibet.

That's hilarious, Arakis. That didn't even occur to me: Just how much does this guy want to emulate Char?

Ah haha I did not think they would let him do it. I personally think its kind of cool ,on the other hand it paints a odd picture of anime fans especially considering this will get international attention. Many people around the world watch Nasa tv.
I will most definitely be watching mission coverage of this in early to mid sept on Nasa tv.

If your cable provider does not offer Nasa Tv you can follow the mission at-> http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.htm
through there web Tv site. Generally you need a broadband connection for this to be viable.

Well at least he admits it. Because there will be no doubt once he blasts off.

Unless the launch is shown on every major news station across the world, just like how the July 4 launch and July 17 landing of the space shuttle Discovery was broadcast nationwide on every news station (except WB, they were wasting time interviewing Dr. Phil or something).

Is this a hoax? I told this to my mom, and she said this is a load of made-up crap.

Except he is going up in a Russian spacecraft. Remember the shuttle launch was the second time the shuttle went up since the Columbia failure. The U.S. media was so focussed on it because they were hoping for big explosions. You know the old adage, "no news is good news". The U.S. media most likely won't have much more than a 15 second news blirb for this launch, unless something bad happens.

That is exactly why I provided a place for people to find out more, and see it for them selves. Because as Dargonxtc pointed out there will be little coverage of this on the major networks out side of short clips of the launch and possibly some media events.

Uh, no? It's a real news article. Rich Japanese fellow bought a trip to space, and is enough of a geek that he wants to cosplay. Not what you hear everyday, but it's not that odd, methinks.

Not to be rude, but how would your mom know? O.o
