A lego space shuttle attached to a helium balloon has floated 22 miles to the edge of space

so what? space is cool, so the shuttle is.

I give that the clappa!


How many times did I want to do that when I was a kid!

loved it, thanks!

That is awesome!

Well thought out, perfectly exucuted!

Great find Gaia!

Thanks!

Long distance, low budget exploration. Love it!
I'd really like to watch the "landing" if that's available.

So,
Why did it not melt?

Not that I'm trying to be a buzzkill, but 22 miles is actually less than half the distance to the "edge of space"...

March 10th, 2012, is the day that Gaia finally posted something that didn't have hate in it.

Congrats!

bla bla bla bla...

The edge of space is 63 mile hon. But I do love space related anything...

Thanks for posting an awesome video!!

This is super cool!

This video achieves two things:

1) shows that some people do still have an imagination!

and

2) makes flat-earth-tards look stupid as you can clearly see the curvature of the Earth in the video that was taken by an amateur, not a gov't agency.

5 stars!

wonder whose skull it caved in when it landed???

we have a new space program ...

the shuttle is back baby!!!

lego doom

I hope the kid filed a flight plan with the FFA or he will face serious time in juvie for breaking some onerous Federal law. You think they are tough on kids selling lemonade, just what till this Jr Spaceman gets his.

FFA? Future Farmers of America?

You mean FAA?

Considering it was launched from Germany, I'm fairly certain the FAA has no say over his launch...

Yep, I meant FAA.

Thank God he lives in a free country where he can do such things without fear of the government.

Or the FDA over his lunch.

nice one! and nice find, Gaia!
