Space Cheese

When the camera was falling back to Earth do you think the guys were saying amongst themselves “Now thats a really high speed camera or maybe Say cheeeeese?”

A piece of cheese that went missing after being sent into space has been located – in High Wycombe.

A group of cheesemakers got together to send a wedge of cheddar into space to try to get in the news and make more people aware of their product.

They attached it to a weather balloon and sent it into space, but then the tracking device stopped working.

It was feared that the cheese would never be found, but now it’s been handed in to a police station.

The cheese apparently landed 74 miles away from the launch site.

The cheesemakers think their cheese made it pretty high up, as the weather balloon carrying it there seemed to have burst.

But it’s hard to tell exactly what happened as the camera that was on board the balloon was also destroyed during the flight.
