"Five Harvard University students have sent the first hamburger into space. The group of friends attached a GPS tracking device and a camera to the snack, before tethering it to a 600g weather balloon filled with helium. The students then covered the burger with lacquer - to try to improve its chances of withstanding the trip into the outer reaches of the earth&amp;#039;s atmosphere - before launching it on October 27 in Sturbridge, MA. According to The Daily Telegraph, the burger reached a maximum altitude of 30,000m (98,500ft) before the balloon burst and sent its cargo plummeting back to the ground. Using GPS, the students managed to trace the burger and equipment back to a tree located 130 miles (200km) north of Boston.
