Heck, let this guy wear whatever he wants to wear. He paid 20 million bucks. I say he can pick whatever costume he wants so long as it won't cause structural damage to the station. This 'color fatigue' crap is just that, crap.

If it were me, I'd wear Steve Armstrong's costume from Voltes V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltes_V) robot series. But that's me. I'd build a model robot too...Voltes V. I'd probably try to build Voltes V's 'Laser Sword' too. But again, that's me. And I don't got 20 million bucks to fly to space.

So let this Japanese dude wear what he wants and build his robots. I say, way to go dude!

that 20 million will help to fund the company that is launching the man into space. hopefully part of that money can be used for research and development to further technological advancement to allow others to have the same opportunity at a much cheaper price.

Who? Me? Racist?Jul 26th, 2006 - 03:50:56

I think you got it all wrong Captain Blind. Which Asian country always portraits their citizen with pointed noses, blond hair and white skin? Who publicly announced that they are the 'superior' race in Asia, even today, when racism is condemned, even by you captain blind apparently. You are just too quick to call people names without checking your facts.

Open your little eyes and come out of yiur comic books and check your facts:
