Lego Space Man   Leave a comment

Two Canadian students, Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, used a weather balloon and a Styrofoam ‘spacecraft’ to send a Lego toy 15 miles into the stratosphere. The plastic astronaut’s journey to the edge of space took 97 minutes, and was captured with four cameras and a GPS-enabled cell phone. More info, including video, at The Telegraph.
