They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. Not only is it cool seeing things fired into space from the surface of the planet, but Newell - a very wealthy man - is going to be donating $US1 ($1.40) to charity for every person who tunes in. If you’ve got nothing to do later this afternoon, you should tune into the launch, which is scheduled for 3:44 p.m. It looks like there’ll also be a second one added should be launch prove successful, called Manufacturing Ascent.

It’s a recreation of Gnome Chompski, a garden accessory found in Half-Life: Episode 2 (and later Half-Life: Alyx) that you can carry for most of the game and earn a bullshit achievement with if you can have it launched into space on a rocket, which leads us nicely to the real video game news of all this, in that to coincide with the launch Valve also added a new achievement to Half-Life: Episode 2, called Gnome Alone. While there, he’s been working, but also doing other stuff, the latest of which is teaming up with WETA (the special effects/art guys), Rocket Lab and a local charity to fire…a small garden gnome into space.
