It was one small step for bears, but a giant leap for teddy-kind when four teddies were blasted to the edge of space.The furry toys were launched 30,000-metres into the sky as part of a project by the University of Cambridge and a local school.
A helium balloon was used to get the bears up up and away flying to Near Space or the Edge of Space as it is known.
The bears endured temperatures of minus 53 degrees on the three hour flight from Cambridge and all were returned safely to Earth.
