Three British men have taken a lamb chop where no chop has gone before. Space.
Nikesh Shukla and his two friends attached a tandoori lamb chop and a GoPro to a weather balloon, before launching it into space.
According to The Independent, the balloon rose at 325 metres per minute for 95 minutes and bursted somewhere over Hungerford, West Berkshire in the UK. But it took the team five months to find the GoPro after freezing temperatures disabled the device's GPS.
With the help of local police, they eventually retrieved the GoPro from a farmer located some 132kms from the launch site.

The group were surprised to find that their GoPro had recorded more than 100 minutes of stunning footage of the lamb chop floating through the clouds, into space, and back down to Earth.
Shukla launched the balloon to promote his new novel 'Meatspace'.
