This is as much fun as it is tech.

A couple of Canadian kids launched (floated) a Lego Man into space.

Story/Video from the CBC.

(video is about :90 sec.)

A pair of Toronto teens sent a Lego man into space, capturing their plastic astronaut’s entire 97-minute adventure in an eye-catching video.

Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17-year-old Grade 12 students at Agincourt Collegiate Institute in Scarborough, used a helium-filled balloon to send the Lego man into space 24 kilometres above sea level two weeks ago.

This is wonderful! Smart kids, with a sense of humor to boot. I hope they go far in the hard sciences.

Maryn, impressed

Shame on you! :Soapbox:

I thought it was a link to a funny LEGO webcomic about astronauts.

That was impressive. I've emailed it to my daughter so that she can show my grandson.

He's a lego fan and might just be old enough to understand what the youngsters accomplished.
