Watch This Kebab Almost Reach Space

Kaburgacı Yaşar, CEO of Turkish restaurant chain, Ugur Aydin, decided to celebrate the the 61st anniversary of the first human space flight by attempting to launch a kebab into outer space.

To do this, the kebab was attached to a large helium balloon, along with a GoPro camera to document the endeavor. The kebab was making fine progress up until it reached 25 miles above, all the way up in the mesosphere, before beginning to descend and landing in the ocean off Turkey’s southern coast.
