AlanC Member Posts: 147 From: Scotland Registered: Nov 2014	posted 10-14-2017 08:21 AM Apollo was pretty cool, but I think we can all agree that putting a Tunnock's Teacake in space is the pinnacle of human achievement. The launch was carried out by a team at Glasgow Science Centre (GSC), aimed at sparking people's "imagination" in science and technology. A camera attached to a hydrogen weather balloon broadcast Facebook Live images that were watched 33,000 times. The Scottish confectionery went 21 miles up before descending. It landed in a tree in Galloway Forest Park. For the uninitiated, Tunnock's is a biscuit manufacturer based in Glasgow.
