Pretty cool, what became of that article that Ice posted about the metal cast figures that also took a ride up to space?

The marketing folks from TLG should jump on this! They sent a note to the them but there's probably more that they can do with this... all that free very positive publicity!

A local news show here in Los Angeles did a segment about this last night! They are getting really good press!

Nancy writes in to let us know that the two Canadian teens who sent a LEGO man above sea level made a recent visit to her grade 3/4 class in Toronto. You can check out her blog for more pictures. Below is also a video interview conducted by the kids.

Might want to add "24 kilometres" before the "above sea level" in your link.
I'm browsing the internet above sea level right now, and that's not quite nearly such an astonishing feat as what these two guys have done.
