A group of college kids with nothing better to do decided sending a burger up into space would be a great idea, so they did it with the help of their local burger place.
Felix Baumgartner may have recently broke the sound barrier while doing a parachute jump, but even more recently, Harvard students sent a hamburger into space. Now, it’s not a competition, but we think we know which one is more impressive… definitely the burger.
The description on YouTube states, “five friends from Harvard University decided to send a delicious hamburger to space. B.good, a local hamburger company in Massachusetts, was generous enough to help us out and sponsor this entire mission.”
“The launch took place in Sturbridge, MA and reached a max altitude of 30000m. A 600g-weather balloon filled with helium was attached to a GoPro Hero, HTC Rezound phone (GPS) and a Hamburger.”
We certainly wouldn’t recommend risking a perfectly good hamburger, so kids, don’t try this at home.
