Nice :-)

Actually, I've been thinking a fair bit about this topic.  I wonder if
we could do something "small" in space, like a LEGO Pirate or
something along that lines.  See links below for inspiration.  The
goal I have in mind is to be the first modern Political Party in
Space.

Ideally it'd be nice to have something longer term and farther
reaching than just sub-orbital or LEO - like a small solar sail type
craft or lunar impactor?

As a start though, I think a LEGO Pirate and camera, lofted by balloon
would be relatively cheap to do and a great PR stunt.
