Ron Fugelseth is the creator a viral video A toy train in space (a toy train in space) in which you can see how he builds a flying device to send, and return back to Earth, one of his son's favorite toys into space. Ron, in addition to a fantastic father, is a creative director at Oxygen Productions and is an expert in the use of Adobe. In addition, he says on his Twitter profile that he loves naps.
On August 24, 2012, a few weeks before Felix Baumgartner sent his body to jump into the void, Ron sent Stanley, his toddler's favorite train, to space in a balloon with an HD camera and an old phone equipped with GPS to facilitate location when the device returned to Earth. Obviously Ron's most beautiful work, and that he will always remember and keep his little one, is that of the edition of the video recorded by the camera in which you can see, in less than two minutes, Stanley's journey from takeoff to the landing. One of the attractions of the video is the animation that you created for Stanley's face that expresses a lot of feelings with the eyes and mouth in addition to that happy little round face.
Ron is getting his videos to be seen a lot on YouTube, and in addition to an excellent production, his little one is a great actor and participates that animated Stanley full of feeling. The father also says that his son is not separated from his toy and so you can see, in this other video, with a recording that summarizes five months of relationship between them.
Reviewing more information about Ron and his project I find an image that explains that there is a line that passes through Felix Baumgartner and Stanley and ends in a cornfield. As you can see in the image that Ron uploaded on his Twitter account, Stanley was tremendously attentive and expectant to see the feat of Felix although he, in addition to that he had already done it, not so tall and without records in fact, he hoped that will land happily in a cornfield.
We are excited and full of hope that there are parents so lovely with their children and so bold in their proposals. I do not know the risks of this type of artifacts being sent to space or how it can be done for many families to repeat the experiences. The truth is that it is a way of doing a love for astronomy as exciting and entertaining.
