That's nothing! In the UK, Scientists (perhaps it was school children) sent a meat and potato pie into space and back. The results (according to a seagull) were delicious.

"The aim is to see if its journey up to 100,000ft (30km) changes the molecular structure of the pie making it quicker to eat. "


"There is no firm boundary where outer space starts. However the Kármán line, at an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level,[7][8] is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping. The framework for international space law was established by the Outer Space Treaty, which was passed by the United Nations in 1967. "

So the goal there was not quite space.
