About The Picture: Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, mission specialist, participates in an extravehicular activity a few meters away from the cabin of the shuttle Challenger during the STS-41B mission. (April 1983)

So many of us have creative ideas but few go to the “trouble” of finishing out a project or even starting it. I ran across an article on Yahoo News (link) the other day of two high school seniors who wanted to send a balloon and camera in to space. The two of them designed and launched a weather balloon, complete with the first Lego Man in space, and tracked the balloon with GPS once it fell back to earth. They did this for under $400.00!!!!

If someone handed you $400.00 and told you to do something creative what would you do?  What if they handed you $25?  The possibilities are endless but it all comes down to what would you do?

Checkout the video of the Lego Man going in to space. I would have liked to have seen the complete decent but this is amazing what these two teenagers were able to accomplish on such a small budget:
