Suffice it to say, our outing in Ripley's has rekindled our enthusiasm for audacious space projects, so let's see if we've got any of those paper straws left... ®

Rekindled enthusiasm

i've got an idea for you
Why not build a rocket next time, with a little wind turbine attached to the back of it and an eco warriors leg tied to it.
Then we could work out if its possible to recharge an iphone by the time it hits the stratosphere and lands back on earth.
