HISTORY'S LONGEST CAST
Fly fishermen, eat your hearts out!
I have got such a daughter! When she heard the first private spacelaunch was coming up, and accepting cargo (see http://www.zerog-space.com) for $50 a gram (a business card weighs about a gram), she called to ask me what I had. That was just before Father's Day. I thought a moment and recalled having, years ago, tied a few size 22 dry flies. I found them, and I figured that if I made a small enough fly rod…
In due time, I will get the cargo back with a certificate assuring everyone that my fly did in fact reach orbit. And I will be the proud possessor of the longest cast in all of history!
I will post a picture when I can.

Of course, anytime anyone offers anything in grams, it raises some suspicions. I suppose that's one item whose resale value would go up dramatically if it had been in space - spacedust.
So, what do you suppose you might catch with your cast?
A couple of interesting blogposts, of course. Maybe some publicity.
