I live in toronto, but I only heard yesterday about the two teens from Scarborough who sent a weather ballon to the upper atmosphere with cameras and a lego man attached, and got some great photos of the lego guy holding a Canadian flag in front of the curvature of the Earth, and the blackness of space. What I really love is that the boys, friends since middle school, did this just because they thought it would be a neat thing to try; and that when asked about their next challenge, they replied - "Pass Grade 12."
