As you may already know, they are not the first to send something to space (here, here and here). However, I must say that they did it cleverly using existing gadgets and resourcefulness. Check out the video and how they did it after the break.

Here are the “ingredients”

• Weather balloon x 1
• Homemade parachute x 1
• point-and-shoot camera x 3
• Styrofoam box x 1
• Wide-angle video camera x 1
• Mobile phone loaded with a GPS app x 1

BTW, the project costs US$400 and the balloon reaches an estimated height of 24km before the Lego Man was sent back to earth (in approximately half hour).
