Two Teens Get High the Scientific Way

New Market teens, Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, have recently made their mark in Canadian Space Agency history by sending a Lego @MarcGarneau some 24 kilometres above sea level.

The budget for this endeavour cost around $400 CAD, making it one of CSA's most expensive projects to date. No word on whether or not the two 17-year-olds will be attempting a second launch -- though, there is talk of sending a Lego @simonpegg and @nickjfrost to Mars.

"For two 17-year-olds to accomplish this on their own is pretty impressive," said Uof T Astrophysics Professor, Dr. Michael Reed. I would have to agree. I mean, most 17-year-olds that I see can barely keep their pants up, let alone launch a balloon some 80,000 feet into the air.
