Natty Light First Beer In Space HD

On May 27th, 2011 Natty Light officially became The First Beer In Space.
Two of Natty Lights Facebook fans, Danny and Rich, came to us with an epic idea to make Natty the first beer in space. We said go for it, just let us know when ya shoot it off! Natty Light helped make their dream a reality, by offering to support their efforts on Natty's Facebook page. The spacecraft was named the Aluminum Fullcan by Natty's Facebook Fans (submitted by Kel Thomas).

The spacecraft was launched via weather balloon. The ascent took about 2hrs rising to an altitude of 90,000ft+. The Aluminum Fullcan spacecraft landed 60 miles from the launch site and took Danny and Rich 2hrs to locate by gps (due to the rural area of the landing that offered poor reception). The event was a complete success and Natty Light officially became The First Beer In Space (edge of space)...what we like to call the Nattmosphere!

The spacecraft was composed of a styrofoam cooler carrying the first beer (full beer) in space on board, a gps tracking device, an HD video camera pointed at another (empty) can on the outside of the ship (It's the can you see in frame).

Got an epic idea for Natty? Post it on the wall. If we like it, who knows maybe we'll make your next Natty adventure a reality! http://www.facebook.com/NattyLight

Special Thanks from Natty Nation goes out to Danny B. and Rich T. you dudes are awesome!!

(For Clarification: This event took place on May 27th, with clearance and approval from the FAA. The documented footage was posted on-line November 18th)

i don't know if i'd call the stratosphere the edge of space. but anyway, i wonder how they got ahold of a GP26 weather balloon? i always thought those were reserved for weather service and military use...
