This week I read an interesting article. Were this two Canadian teenager sent a Lego man into space using a home-stitched parachute and spare parts on Craigslist. Both teenagers 17 years old, attached two inch astronaut clutching a Canadian flag to a helium balloon. They sent the lego man 80,000 feet into the air. The whole journey took 97 minutes which began on a football pitch in Toronto using four cameras to take photos every 20 seconds. This two boys did this as a personal project. This project cost $400 and took 4 months of free Saturdays to accomplish the task. The teenagers were left with amazing footage from an estimated 24 kilometers above sea level which showed the toy floating above the curvature of our planet. The boys recovered the Lego man 122 km from the launch site by using the GPS located on the Lego man.
