This is almost very exciting; a specially manufactured chair launched into space via balloon and videotaped. It’s a publiscity stunt for a new Toshiba video camera.
Not much detail on it yet, but I read the following in the printed press (Shortlist, a weekly free paper/magazine handed out in London) this morning – “The temperature dropped to -90C at 60, 000ft. The chair endured this for 70 minutes before disintegrating”, “float up from the Nevada desert to 98, 000ft above Earth”. Whilst not the best journalism, its certainly looks like it might be worth looking at.
The following is a confusing teaser currently doing the rounds on youtube.
