maybe have the "space vehicle" be called the "Ron Paul Rocket" and the passengers are the current candidates. That way we can play off the Ron Paul quip about politcians being sent to the moon, and Ron Paul is seen as the impetus to sending them there, and not the possible twisting by the media to make Ron Paul look silly.

i kinda like the idea someone posted, make the ballon a ron paul ballon. put stick bumper stickers on it or spray paint the revolution logo on it. then have a lil mini spaceships/rocket with the 4 candidates faces in the windows. then put ron's quote "..send some politicians to the moon" - Ron Paul
 
Don't know if anyone else has suggested something along these lines, but how about a picture of all the current candidates, Pres. Obama, Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Lamar Smith, John McCain, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. That would pretty much be my list (non-exhaustive)... And during the launch, maybe do a stop-motion with a Ron Paul action figure waving them off. I would laugh my ass off all the way through the general.

I voted to send the Ron Paul action figure. The original Canadian Lego Man was a positive character and made for a great video. When this election is over and all we have left from this project is the video, I'd rather have a positive, inspiring video of Ron in space than a negative one poking fun at his rivals for the nomination in this one election cycle. I think semi-fulfilling Ron's dream of becoming the first physician in space via action figure would be a much better tribute to him than doing all this work to capitalize on a joke he made at a debate with the hopes of getting better media attention. And you have to consider the risks of something unexpected happening to one of the other candidates which would garner sympathy for them in the interim (e.g. Santorum's daughter being hospitalized.)

At the end of the day, I think Ron would find either video funny, but I'd rather be able to tell him we sent him into space as per his old daydream (and without any government funding lol) than tell him we expanded on a joke of his and sent some politicians to the moon (especially since they're not even going to the moon).

Just my preference.
 
So this is what it feels like to be an undecided voter. I can be swayed either way right now.
 
Well... why not both?

1 RP action figure, to also return. 1 plate with the faces of the 3, to be left in orbit...?

It can be Astronaut RP's mission...

This.

Plus, other candidates may (will, actually) drop out, so a video with other candidates will be outdated for sure at some point. A video of a Ron Paul action figure going to space will be current, even after he winst the General :)
 
Ok, the poll deadline has passed. Are we going to take this any further?
 
It's not getting off the ground because people can't just agree. The action figure won the pol
... Let's do it!
