Throwback to the time I sent a clarinet into space last year.... @TheIET and @BeanoOfficial ran a joint competition asking kids to design an object they’d take to Mars that they couldn’t live without

The winner, Elin, designed this amazing clarinet! So we built it and sent it to the edge of space using a weather balloon


Elin was even drawn into the @BeanoOfficial on an adventure with Dennis and Nasher and her modified clarinet design 


Easily one of my maddest and most amazing days as #IETYWE

At around 35km high the balloon popped and it started to fall back down to Earth
We then drove across the country to track it down
