Lego in Space0

There are a few fans of Lego on this site and it’s worth checking out this brilliant vid of the launch of a Lego shuttle that literally makes it into orbit!

Built by Raul Oaida (from Romania), the launch took place from central Germany, reaching a maximum altitude of 35000m. A 1600g meteo balloon filled with helium was used alongside a GoPro Hero, Spot GPS and of course Lego Space Shuttle model 3367.

Launch took place on the 31st of December 2011, the equipment was recovered via GPS tracking 240 km S-E.
