This Vice City priest tried to launch a giant statue of himself into space — using NASA bribes.

Pastor Richards, the corrupt televangelist on VCPR in GTA: Vice City, is a direct parody of real-life 1980s preacher Jimmy Swaggart. His 'Salvation Statue Organization' was a complete fraud — donors were promised salvation while he secretly tried to bribe NASA for rocket technology to blast a massive statue of himself into orbit.
