Space Tourism Gets Another Passenger 27
Lothar+0 writes to tell us MSNBC is reporting that Daisuke Enomoto will be the next passenger to visit the international space station. Daisuke is a former executive of 'Livedoor' and creator of DICE-K who now lives in Hong Kong as a private investor. Apparently a long time self proclaimed fanboy of the Gundam anime series Daisuke says he will be dressing up as "Char Aznable" if the Russian agency will allow him to.

It's sad when someone with such shitty tastes gets to do such cool things.

I'm still not quite clear on who this guy is that he has so much money anyway. He is apparently the guy behind some lame website and something called "LiveDoor" (whatever the hell that is). Maybe that's the guy who made that door that was on Slashdot or one of these sites a few weeks ago that opens to allow just your particular frame shape through the door when you approach it. Or maybe not.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? You think the only people who would enjoy anime are somehow mentally deficient in a way that would prevent them from getting a job in any field other than menial labour? Why is a rich person being a hardcore anime fan somehow less reasonable than a rich person being, say, a hardcore football fan, which I'm sure nobody would bat an eyelid at.

Perhaps, instead of going to space he should take some of that money and hire a psychiatrist.

Actually, those are just the ones I've seen and there's a more complete list at Char Aznable, but none of them have a picture of the characters with the requisite mask.
