SpacerefCanada [CANADIAN]
Two 17 year old Toronto area high school students launched a Lego man 24 km into the mid stratosphere - and they have pictures and video to prove it. Working weekends with a limited budget, they combined their interests of aviation and engineering and designed and built their spaceship - a box which was lofted into the upper atmosphere by a balloon. Determined to build an inexpensive spacecraft, they built the parachute themselves. This required learning how to use a sewing machine first - [...]
