News made me giggle. Laughing

But Hachune isn't exactly the only one going for a joy-ride...

Uh...that's one small step for a virtual idol...one giant leap for otaku-kind? (Someone had to to say it...)

Next thing you know, some j-pop group will get the inspiration to...i dunno, perform a concert on the moonor something crazy like that...

A mere 2km isn't that impressive for a model rocket. However, it appears they're not merely going to pop a Miku figure into a rocket and send it up (they tested that in the video). What that actually appear to be doing is creating a hoard of BlinkenMikus (seen in the video) with self-contained power supplies and accelerometer triggered LEDs, so they start to glow as they fall when deployed at the top of the rocket's trajectory.

I'd be more worried about virtual idols in space myself.

Black Rock Desert? Miku? Coincidence? I think not.
