That’s one small step for lego man, one giant leap for lego mankind. Technically speaking, the lego man made it high into the upper atmosphere, until the weather balloon propelling it popped. Lego man made it 24 kilometers above sea level, but you can clearly make out the curvature of the earth in the background. Technically speaking, space begins at 100 kilometers above sea level which is called the Karman line.

This is simply one of the coolest and most wondrous stories in a long time. Fantastic job by these two Canadian students who spent $400 and successfully launched a lego man into near-space, recorded it, and parachuted him safely back to earth. This video is simply stunning.
