Lego man in space: one (very) small step

Two teenagers from Toronto sent a Lego man carrying a Canadian flag into the stratosphere. Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, attached four cameras to a balloon carrying the toy astronaut 24km above Earth. A week after launch they recovered their Lego man in a field, and discovered they had captured stunning space footage

Following this wonderful video, Guardian Comment asks its readers what their most memorable childhood video was.

What the hee-haw? This is nuts!

YOU GUYS. My dad just emailed this story to me. It’s a man and his pet buffalo. In Canada. He raised him from a baby and they go everywhere together.

Do you know what my dream life is? For real? It’s to live on a farm in Canada with my pet buffalo/best friend, Howard. And now I know it’s possible. We can even go out to the bar and have a beer together.

My heart is full. All I want, y’all, all I want.

Don’t worry about it, guys. I got this Google+ thing under control.

It’s a bit of a souffle-off,” Prince William yelled out at Charest. “If you could rise to the occasion, that would be great!

I’ve always been a Harry girl, but oh my stars if this doesn’t make me love Wills I don’t know what will.

I’m a huge fan of Kate & Wills’ trip to Canada in general. (A) Canada, duh, and (B) SIX HUNDRED POUNDS OF BACON.

The Complete Official Lyrics to Yeaaaaaah Canada

An Anthem For A Modern Canada, by My Brother Daniel

Yeaaaaaah Canada!
No need to put on airs!
We’ve got Mounties, and packs of roving bears!

It snows a lot (a whole whole lot!)
We take hockey seriously!

We’re so polite,
Yeah Canada, no place I’d rather be.

Sometimes our bands can be too twee!
Yeaaaaaah Canada, the health care here is free!

Yeaaaaaah Canada, something something Gretsky!

This is the only song in the world right now.

It’s cool if you’re jealous of my Canada swag. I guess it’s pretty indicative of the way I lead my life that I couldn’t find my Canadian flag stickers, but I could find my Canadian flag tattoos…

Happy Greatest Day Of The Year, everybody! That’s right, it’s CANADA DAY again! Celebratin’ the land of hockey (though, like, not Stanley Cup champs… SORRY DUDES), moose, maple syrup, Scott Pilgrim, my Giant Canadian Boyfriend, and hilarious accents. Also many other great things! Yay Canada!

So I “Like” Canadian Living on Facebook (for obvious reasons) and I’m not saying that it’s made my Quality of Life 1500% better, but… it totally has. Especially because of this picture. Because Canada Day is tomorrow. AKA THE BEST DAY EVER.
