They didn't even give the poor #%&*$# a helmet or suit. He's probably freezing his canucks off. Wait...he's Canadian...probably used to it.

This was done by two teenage boys. I thought it was a fantastic achievement.

I find these high altitude balloon experiements done by normal folk really cool.

I guess that launch is somewhat historical. Perhaps the first Canadian Lego Man made in China launched into space.

I completely agree. I was very impressed with their project.

According to news reports he re-entered and landed on a farm in Michigan. Where he met the Farmer's Daughter

Go Lego Man. Go.

That Lego man must be from the same mould as Jeb Kerman. Always with a smile, no matter the circumstances.
Then again, the Lego man didn't have to worry about having a volatile rocket stack underneath him...
