One small step for man, one giant leap for.....cheese!

18 months to attach a lump of cheese to a weather ballon. this even made bbc news (might have been local new) but what a waste of time.

I now have an image of a bloke just getting out of his car and locking the door diving out of the way as a big wedge of cheese hits the roof of his car!

I would be scared to ask someone in case I had just gone mad.

"I'm sorry to bother you but did a 300Kg lump of cheese just land on my car?"
 
I'd be very pleased if it landed on my car, If I got to keep the cheese and get an insurance pay out. My 400g weekly cheese I buy cost £3.

Thats £2250 Worth of Cheese!

Imagine the ironing if someone was having their photo taken and the person taking it said "say cheese" and they were promptly knocked unconscious by a giant lump of it falling from the sky :D
 
The 300kg chunk of cheese was attached to a weather balloon which lifted off from Pewsey, Wilts, at 4am on Tuesday.

It floated up to the edge of space at 18.6 miles (30km) above sea level, where the 1.6m-wide helium balloon was expected to burst.
