Re: 2 Canadian teens send Legos into SPACE

Was it "space", well... yes. Not "outer space", but technically, the balloon occupied "space".

They captured some pretty cool photos, and accoplished something kind of neat. The difficulty and innovation inherent in their accomplishment is out of proportion to the attention that it received, but that is a good thing. I just wish the media would pick up on more stories like this. As someone once said, "You get what you celebrate."

More important, however, is the "don't try this at home" article, reminding people to check with aviation authorities to ensure a safe ride for any future Legos occupying "space".

P.S. While the plural of one Lego brick is, indeed, two Lego bricks, when we refer to Lego people, it may well be appropriate to use the plural... compare... One Canadian brick, two Canadian bricks. One Canadian, two Canadians...
