Lego man goes into Space!

David Froggatt — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:32:33 +0000

On duty today it was fantastic to see so many children playing with Lego. I mentioned to some of the children that two Canadian boys had recently sent a Lego man all the way into space by strapping him to a weather balloon. They didn’t really look like they believed me…

Well, here is the proof!

You can see a video of Lego-Spaceman at the Guardian Newspaper website here.
