'Project Hail Mary' LEGO figure launched into space, sets Guinness World Record

A miniature LEGO astronaut inspired by Ryan Gosling's recent sci-fi film 'Project Hail Mary' has earned a Guinness World Record for being the highest altitude launch and retrieval of a LEGO set. Using a balloon-powered setup, a small model of the film's spaceship and the alien character 'Rocky' soared above the Earth's atmosphere at 1,14,790 feet for eight hours.
