This morning I saw that on Twitter the link of the article published in Peques and Más moved a while ago that there had already been a LEGO through the stratosphere. And, to remember, it was that a Lego doll rose for 100 minutes to 24 kilometers. The total cost of the project was $ 400 (less than 380 euros) in which the majority took the balloon and especially the helium they put in the balloon to ascend. The project by Félix Baumgartner, sponsored by an energy drink that sold 4.5 billion cans in 2011, says that it has cost between 25 and 50 million euros what the work of the kids Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad we mentioned, as A hit with your flying artifact.
In any case, I don't want to take away any credit from Félix Baumgartner, which seems to me that blew everyone away when he launched from 39,045 meters, looking out over the launch pad of the capsule that took him there and of his extraordinary speed in the fall free, with a maximum of 1,342.8 km / h (Mach 1.24).
All this story to present that Lego figures have been surpassed again and they have reproduced, on a slightly smaller scale although full of attractions, that jump by Felix Baumgartner.
He video is most entertaining in its almost two minutes and everything is perfectly programmed so that nothing fails. In the same way that happened to the Stratos project, which in the absence of official confirmation, has broken three world records and that the entire planet could see through platforms such as YouTube in which up to 9 million viewers were concentrated. For now, that Lego video has 500,000 views, although it will be higher soon.
