The 30-year space shuttle era ended when the last shuttle mission was successfully completed last July. A Romanian man, Raul Oaida, commemorated the event by sending a lego space shuttle to the edge of space by a meteorological balloon 'proving that although retired, this machine can still fly, albeit in toy form'. The balloon was equipped with a video camera and now a video about the flight of the toy spacecraft can be seen on youtube. Personally, I think that this video is pure awesomeness. If you are interested in the technological details you can read them under the video on youtube. Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your flight! :)
