WATCH: Superman figurine lifted 95,000 feet in balloon and released

Jude Pullen says: “I was part of a team at Design Spark, tasked with sending a Superman figurine to Space in a SpacePod, then have him ‘jump out’ of the pod and free-fall back to earth. I was responsible for making a SpacePod capable of surviving the assent (-40C, wind, rain, cosmic radiation), and ensuring that the 4K cameras and GPS equipment all survived the 5m/s descent to Earth.”
