A tiny space explorer, Mojo Man, has gone missing in the line of duty, however his would-be rescuer has high hopes for his recovery.

Dressed in an alimunium foil suit, replete with a plastic helmet, Mojo Man was sent up into the stratosphere with the express purpose of capturing images 110,000-feet above the earth. To undertake his mission the brave explorer was mounted on a CD of The Planets Suite by Gustav Holst, which was itself attached to electronic equipment and a hi-tech mini camera. “The project worked perfectly and we captured 2.5 hours of high definition video of the flight from launch to landing,” said mission commander Shaun Whitehead . “The rest of the equipment eventually landed but sadly there was no sign of the astronaut. “We’ve looked at the video and think he was knocked off his perch when the balloon burst and fell somewhere around Leicester”.
