Nicholas L is a father of three who granted his kids’ wish of sending their toys into space. This is a noteworthy task since Nicolas is not an astronaut at all!
When his kids asked him to send their toys into space, Nicholas absentmindedly agreed, but then set out to find a way to make his kids’ request a reality. He spent four months researching and bought a bunch of supplies he needed for the journey including a balloon which would be filled with a special mix of helium and air, a parachute and a GPS tracker.
Finally, on a sunny July day, Nicholas and his family gathered in an open field outside their village and launched the two toys — a Hello Kitty and a Bad Piggy from ANGRY BIRDS — into space with a GoPro camera that recorded the entire journey.
The toys were almost not recovered since the GPS tracker broke when it hit the cold, cold temperatures of space, so Nicholas and his family had some trouble finding the toys again. However, after driving around, they eventually found them and shared the awesome video with the world!
