Quote Toy dog sent into stratosphere by Lancashire schoolchildren A toy dog named Sam has been sent into the Earth's atmosphere by schoolchildren in Lancashire. The cuddly toy was attached to a helium balloon and was filmed travelling 25km (15 miles) into the stratosphere. It was part of a science project by Morecambe Bay Community Primary School. ;) :D ;D Title: Re: This is indeed 'another way to travel', but also on 'the lighter side' Post by: BerkshireBugsy on April 07, 2016, 07:10:27 A video news report, from the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-35979412): Quote Toy dog sent into stratosphere by Lancashire schoolchildren A toy dog named Sam has been sent into the Earth's atmosphere by schoolchildren in Lancashire.
