Lego man sent to space by Canadian teenagers

sbacker
Two teenagers from Toronto have posted a video of a Lego man they sent into the outer reaches of the Earth's atmosphere using a equipment they found on Craigslist.

Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon ordered online and a makeshift Styrofoam spacecraft to send the plastic astronaut 15 miles into the stratosphere,

The pair managed to capture the entire journey into the blackness of space, including the descent, which lasted 97 minutes, using four cameras, at an entire cost of just £254.

Congratulations Canada!
