Mass Simulator: Gnome Chompski

Organization: Gabe Newell, Founder of Valve Software

Manufactured with support from multi-award-winning design studio Weta Workshop, the unique space component is additively manufactured from titanium and printed in the shape of Half-Life gaming icon Gnome Chompski. The mission serves as an homage to the innovation and creativity of gamers worldwide, and also aims to test and qualify a novel 3D printing technique that could be employed for future spacecraft components. The 150 mm gnome will remain attached to the Kick Stage during all mission phases and will burn up upon re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere during the de-orbiting process.

Testing purposes for the upcoming launch of the much anticipated series, give it up for Half Life 2.5!

We don't deserve you Gnome Chompski. He fried for our sins.

I have two friends that I game with on the regular. We had a game night plan but one of our buddies was running late. To kill time, my buddy and I started down the path of getting this achievement. As we are nearing the conclusion of he chapter, our other friend hops on line and joins in progress right as we are finishing. The achievement popped for him too. Bastard.
