Someone please just send him up there already

There are times successful each of our lives erstwhile we not lone consciousness compelled to effort thing new, but pain with an irrepressible tendency to interruption escaped from the chains of our mundane misery by experiencing a happening which we've not yet experienced.

For immoderate people, that happening mightiness beryllium skydiving oregon baking a pistachio furniture barroom with pick food buttercream. For me, astatine 1 constituent past year, it was to ticker the 1977 movie Smokey and the Bandit. For Hideo Kojima, developer of games similar Death Stranding 2, it is to spell to space, and marque a crippled successful space. Please, idiosyncratic conscionable instrumentality him successful a rocket already.

I marque this plea pursuing Mr Kojima's caller interrogation with The Guardian, successful which helium erstwhile again voiced a tendency to spell to abstraction and past marque a crippled portion successful space. He's wanted this, oregon immoderate saltation of it, for years.

People support putting microphones and bits of insubstantial successful beforehand of him, and helium keeps telling them helium wants it soooooooooo badly. Then, we each spell 'Oh aye Hideo, you're truthful quirky' and determination on.

"I privation to bid properly, larn however to bash the docking, spell to the International Space Station and enactment determination for a fewer months," the space-starved psyche said successful this latest lawsuit of cosmic craving, "I’m not a scientist, but I could astir apt marque games successful space. I privation to beryllium the first. There are a batch of astronauts implicit 60, truthful I conjecture it’s possible."

He besides mentioned successful this interrogation that he's suffering from, er, "Tom Cruise disease". Basically, helium wants to hazard his beingness successful a mode that would springiness him a feeling of truly being alive. Sounds precise Breaking Bad, and I'll beryllium honest, it's underlined the seriousness of the concern successful my eyes.

We request to get this antheral up determination to space. I don't attraction however it goes, whether it ends good for Kojima oregon not. We cognize he's prepared for the worst. He wants it truthful severely that we desperately request to fto him eff around, truthful helium tin yet find out. Maybe it won't beryllium each he's imagined it to be. Maybe he'll travel moving backmost to Earth and walk agelong evenings whispering to Geoff Keighley and respective celebrated acting radical astir however overmuch of a letdown it was.

The worst portion is, fixed however agelong Kojima's been saying this stuff, we intelligibly can't trust connected the governments oregon billionaires who presently person entree to spacecraft oregon the means to nonstop radical up determination to execute it.

There's lone 1 solution I tin see. If we each basal connected each other's shoulders, and I mean the full colonisation of the satellite here, we tin signifier a immense soma ladder which tin convey Hideo to the heavens.

No, earlier you ask, I don't unpaid to beryllium the idiosyncratic astatine the precise bottom.
