This is not going to be a normal video. We're sending garlic bread to the edge of space. Loads of people have launched loads of objects on balloons, usually as publicity stunts. But despite a lot of breathless press releases, those objects haven't been launched into space. Most standards organizations agree that space officially starts at the completely arbitrary Karman line, 100 kilometers up. And balloons like that one only get about a third of the way there. And we're definitely not sending anything into orbit. Orbit requires tens of thousands of miles an hour of speed. That's what all the rockets are for. We're using a weather balloon. It's a large one actually today. We're going as high as we can with this payload. It's very cold on the way up. It gets warmer as you approach that sort of altitude. So it's coldest just above the jet stream and then getting slightly warmer again. It gets back down to about zero about where the balloon will pop. The idea that all those publicity stunts actually made it to space is helped by the fact that the fisheye lens on some of the cameras that they use means that the curve of the earth looks a lot more dramatic than it really is at that height. Now, we're using cameras that correct for that, so what you'll see on screen is more or less what you'd see up there. So we're not saying space, we're saying the edge of space, which is basically just a marketing term, but the atmosphere is so thin up there, about 1% of the pressure at ground level, that it's close enough. Why garlic bread? Because it's delicious and because someone already sent pizza up in a balloon a few years ago. This garlic bread is delicious. It's homemade, well, apart from the baguette. I did some homemade garlic butter on there with some real nice parmesan on there. Although I did make it at 5 o'clock this morning. So it's going to be in near vacuum. It's going to be possibly frozen. I mean, we're going to send half up in the sky with a balloon and then leaving half on earth for a real comparison taste test. As it goes up, the atmosphere is getting thinner and thinner and there's less and less air pushing in. The balloon itself will get bigger and bigger. So eventually, the balloon will pop and the equipment will parachute down to the ground and we'll go and recover it. We normally predict the landing spot to within about five miles when we launch the balloon. We're tracking the balloon using some radio trackers. Um, they send a signal with a GPS position to the ground and that's put on a map and we chase the balloon's predicted landing spot. I've done lots of high-altitude ballooning. I've been doing it now for about 10 years. Never lost one. Sent one to its doom a couple of times. All sorts of food items have been launched into the stratosphere. The BBC sent wedding cake up as part of a children's show, but the punchline at the end was that no one actually ate it. I've yet to find any balloon-launched food that was actually eaten after landing. And the main reason for that is, you have no idea where it's going to land, what it's going to land in, or what animals will have got to it first. The box I've designed has a GPS and a little servo and a piece of string and some springs. As it comes down, it uh closes the servo at 1000 meters above the ground. So now we have to get in our cars and go chasing the payload. It's just coming into land somewhere about half a mile ahead. So, Barry, keep your eyes on the sky. I got to keep my eyes on the road. You reckon I'm okay to park here? Let's go. It's just on the end of that road there. Let's do it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. All right, so this is, this is your original. Yeah. Yeah. That's really good. Not bad, right? Space bread. Is it cold? It's not that much. Oh, no, that tore completely differently. So that, that one ripped. That one went. This one went click. It's definitely got an icy middle. Oh, wow. I don't know. I mean, that has been frozen. That's been frozen in the stratosphere. You can sort of see the color of the middle of the. This went to the stratosphere and I'm eating it. It's all soft. Thank you very much to Steve Randall from Random Aerospace and to Barry Lewis from My Virgin Kitchen. I don't actually know what I did on this. I'm basically DJ Khaled at this point. Yeah. Yeah. DJ Garlic. No, that didn't work. I say garlic bread. We're done. We're good to go. Thank you, folks.
A man in a grey hoodie stands behind a white tray holding a loaf of sliced garlic bread, which is secured with white ties. He speaks directly to the camera, gesturing with his hands. The scene cuts to a wide shot of a field where two men are preparing to launch a large, pale yellow weather balloon, which then ascends into the sky. The camera focuses on the garlic bread as it rises, with the green fields and trees receding below.
