Brizio Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Saw this on the Revell page on FB.Pretty cool! The Revell 2015 Ford Mustang Snaptite® Build & Play model kit is launched into outer space! YES, for real! See the video on YouTube: Ford zone manager Michael Sego and a team from Big Valley Ford in Stockton, California sent the model into space on a weather balloon in honor of Ford Mustang's 50th Birthday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpnoOmQwyP0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikevillena Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Funny..... I wonder what an extraterrestrial would say if the Snaptite model really makes it past earth orbit? "Geeze, these guys are really primitive; they haven't discovered liquid cement!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Funny..... I wonder what an extraterrestrial would say if the Snaptite model really makes it past earth orbit? "Geeze, these guys are really primitive; they haven't discovered liquid cement!" And "holy flying car, spaceman!!! Apparently these primitives are STILL burning fossil fuels. I guess they haven't yet realized that that big glowing yellow ball in the sky is a source of free, unlimited energy, forever. Primitive indeed!!!"

Guest Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Faked. Weather balloons do,not go into space, and even if they did, the heat of reentry would vaporize the plastic. Edited May 14, 2014 by midnightprowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haigwood Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hall: well forgive me for being so inquisitive; but during the past few weeks, I've wondered whether you might be having some second thoughts about the mission Dave: no not at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Geddes Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 It defintely wasn't in space, the earth's "curve" was the edge of the camera lens. But it was definitely a high altitude camera shoot and we got to look at a model car while we watched it. I'd call that pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
