These girls are my new heroes
Seattle sisters Rebecca (11) & Kimberly (9) Yeung launched their ‘Loki Lego Launcher 2.0′ craft into the stratosphere over central Washington, which reached beyond 100,000 feet before returning to Earth!
It took a little more than 3 hours to complete the mission, which was tracked using 2 onboard tracking systems (links were provided for people to follow along).
With the assistance of their father, Winston, the girls updated their fans of the progress of their mission. via their blog.
Also on board the balloon-borne craft was Loki the Cat and Star Wars Lego figure Rey, which were captured by the craft’s camera in an amazing picture that shows the curvature of the Earth!
The “super giddy group of stratospheric explorers” posed for a photo with their craft once it landed in Adams County, Washington and confirmed that their analysis of the data will follow… after they have an ice cream.
You’re never too young to reach for the stars!
