Watch a Hamburger Go to Outer Space and Back

Trend alert 2012, a space odyssey: Sending food to space is officially an official trend. Some thing that have been sent into space via weather balloon and filmed for your viewing pleasure include sushi, hot dogs, pizza, and now, thanks to a group of precocious Harvard students, a hamburger from Boston-area chain b.good. The question with these things, as always, is whether or not they ate the burger after it fell back to earth. In this case, the answer is no, as the balloon got stuck in a tree for a few days before finally falling to the ground. While eating space food is questionable, eating a several-day-old burger is always a bad idea. Here's the video:
