When you have zero coding skills, how do you keep busy at your company's hackathon? For the non-engineers at i.TV, the answer was to send a meth dealer into space.

"The hackathon leaves those of us without coding skills regretting the fact that we're not technical wizards," marketing director Johnny Galbraith says. "So instead of sitting on our hands, we decided to launch Walter White into space and get it on film." 

The second-screen company owns the social networking tool tvtag (formerly GetGlue), and users were asked to pick which popular character should get launched: Walter White (Breaking Bad), Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead) or Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones).
