Toronto Teens Send Lego Man On Space Voyage

From cp24.com:
TORONTO — Two Scarborough high school chums have taken their love for science to new heights.
Matthew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, figured out how to get a Lego man to boldly go where few have gone before -- by launching him into space on a helium balloon.
And they managed to capture the entire amazing voyage on video.
The flight of the Lego man -- seen proudly holding a Canadian flag as the world gradually drops away below him -- can be viewed on YouTube.
The Lego man can be seen soaring above the clouds and then floating in front of a glowing blue earth before the balloon bursts and he begins descending.
The two Grade 12 students at Agincourt Collegiate Institute used some cameras, some Lego blocks and various other bits and pieces to assemble their craft.
