On Thursday, September 20, 2012, a large helium-filled balloon was launched from Weston Park, west of the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England. Equipped with two cameras, a GPS transponder, a thermometer, a heating pad, and two poems, the vehicle cost \u00a3350 pounds, and aside from the cargo, consisted mostly of the balloon itself, string, duct tape, and a polystyrene box serving as the cargo compartment. Two hours and 40 minutes later the shattered\u00a0balloon and its cargo parachuted back to earth, touching down 70 miles north of Sheffield in Linton-Upon-Ouse, after reaching a height of over 21 miles.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_999\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-999\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kljcharters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/stitch-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"999\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kljcharters.com\/blog\/send-your-poem-to-space\/composite-view-from-the-top\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kljcharters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/stitch-2.jpg?fit=640%2C214&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,214\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;As the balloon rose, the cargo spun, taking photos in every direction.

Accelerating at almost five meters (16 feet) every second, the balloon expanded as the pressurized helium in the balloon met less and less resistance as the air thinned. In the very thin upper atmosphere, four times the altitude at which jetliners\u00a0cruise, the balloon suddenly ruptured, and after falling into denser air, a parachute blossomed out, slowing the long fall to Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Weston Park was not the most attractive venue for a launch in the wee hours of the morning.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1000\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1000\"
