'Figs In Spaaaaaaace!


Like the Muppets reference?

Okay - so this was something so amazing, that it has inspired me to create a second blog post today.

Two teenaged kids from my neck of the woods - well, Toronto area at least - have managed to send a LEGO minifigure to space!

Now, this isn't the first LEGO minifigure to be sent to space - as NASA had done this last year.  But to have such an amazing feat done by amateurs (and I mean that in the kindest, most professional way) is amazing!

You can find the source for  the video from the Toronto Star to see more, including actual footage from Near Space!

Man - now I REALLY feel like a LEGO slacker!
