Done. GNOME CHOMPSKI SPEED TO WHERE GNOME MAN WAS GONE BEFORE. The little red hats novel began life as a kind of joke in Half-Life 2: Episode Two. Players who carried a garden gnome all the way through to the end of the game will be awarded the « Little Rocket Man » achievement – a title that old Chompski truly lived through until last night..

Gabe Newell partnered with Weta Workshop and Rocket Lab to send real-life Chompski into space, raise money for charity and even inspire two new Steam milestones in the process..

You can watch the launch video below (go to 30 minutes to get to the good part).

The 150mm gnome titanium sticker on this rocket was created by Weta Workshop (who previously made props and set them for the likes of The Lord Of The Rings). Rocket Lab says that the durable garden decoration will return to the ground, but unfortunately it will burn on entering. Like a space Viking funeral. However, his death would not be in vain, as Rocket Lab will use data related to its re-entry into the atmosphere to inform future missions (although it is unclear when the missile will return)..

A tribute to Chomsky’s adventure has been added to Left 4 Dead 2, Half-Life: Alyx, and Half-Life 2: Episode 2 as a new achievement as well. It’s called Gnome Alone, with the description: « If you’re reading this feat, Gabe Newell has successfully launched Gnome Chompski into space. ».

This wasn’t all for laughing out loud. Newell plans to donate $ 1 per person who watches the video within 24 hours of its release to the pediatric intensive care unit at Starship Children’s Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand.. That means you still have until 1:40 AM GMT tonight (5:40 PM PST today) to reinforce the views on the video above, and have Gabe dig his pockets for a good cause..

Send garden decorations into space for charity and education. Go big or go to GNOME, I think.
