7 Cool Projects From Young Geniuses


3. A Mission to the Space

The pair of 17-year-old rocket scientists, Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad of Canada daringly sent a Lego astronaut into the Earth’s atmosphere, where no Lego man has gone ever before. They equipped their spacecraft with a video camera attached to it and added a helium weather balloon to keep an account of its voyage.

Before it started on its way, they didn’t forget to gave their Lego astronaut a Canadian flag so as to claim the lunar surface. The flight reached a height of 80,000 feet and a GPS receiver ensured that the Lego astronaut has descended home safely with the help of a parachute.
