The image of VV flying around in a lawn chair tethered to balloons (a sarcastic publicity stunt suggested in NCsoft stock watch) gave me a particularly insane, but still very possible idea. In case you haven't seen any of these videos before, watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoMN-zg7r3MAmateur space photography has only recently become possible thanks to ultra-light video recording devices, and is probably on the verge of turning into a fringe hobby. But at the current time, it's still rare enough to get a lot of attention.
So what I'm envisioning is: Video record a custom Statesman action figure at the edge of space, carrying a SaveCoH message.
All things considered, as long as the right materials are used for the vehicle, and top-of-the-line apple products don't get used for hardware, this can be done with a surprisingly small budget.
Also, AFAIK, the only time a superhero has ever hooked up to a space craft was Buzz Lightyear, and that was done by NASA/JPL. How cool would it be if the first superhero to be recorded on an amateur space flight was a CoH character?
