"Hello Kitty"...in Space???

Ok, ok....if you haven't seen this, you should watch this immediately.  When I saw this over the weekend, I was originally entertained by it....until I read about the story, and realized that the entire project was designed and implemented by a 13-year old SEVENTH grade student!!

Lauren Rojas, a student at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Northern California, had a goal in mind : to send up a high-altitude weather balloon, complete with video cameras, to record the events.  Adding to the experiment was a special passenger - her faithful Hello Kitty doll, one she had since she was very young.

Watch the results below, and keep in mind what determination and hard work can get you!!
