CHAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
But seriously, Japan’s thrown down the gauntlet! Maybe some american otakus can raise some money to send one lucky otaku into space. Only question is, do we send someone cosplaying as Amuro Ray or Kamille Bidan? I vote for Kou Uraki >:)

Lussians use inter-contentional missiles to dumb satellites in Greenland err take them into the orbit. So what’s the problem with shooting an Otaku into space? Hmm, otakus in space, isn’t that an oxymoron?
