Written by Five friends from Harvard University decided to send a hamburger up into space. “B.good”, a local hamburger company in Massachusetts, was generous enough to help them out and sponsor the entire mission.
The students, juniors Renzo Lucioni, Nuseir Yassin, Daniel Broudy, Jamie Law-Smith and Matt Moellman, spent a weekend last month brainstorming ideas for a fun science project to break the monotony of school.
It took the group two weekends to prepare the launch, which required gluing the layers of a two-day-old hamburger together, varnishing it, mounting it on an acrylic pedestal, placing it inside a Styrofoam shipping crate and attaching the whole structure to a 600-gram weather balloon filled with helium.
The launch took place in Sturbridge, MA and reached a maximum altitude of 30 000 meters.
It landed 130 miles away from the launch site but was stuck in a tree so they had to hire a tree climber to go up and fetch it but by the time he got up there the burger was gone, they assume a hungry squirrel go hold of it
They aptly named to mission “Operation Skyfall”.
