When I was in elementary school we conducted a science project whereby we attempted to create structures that would allow an egg to be thrown from a two story building sans parachute and fall to earth without damage.
This project, flying under the name Brooklyn Space Program, www.brooklynspaceprogram.org, reached 19 miles into the heavens and safely returned an iPhone to earth unharmed and with amazing video footage. Hats off to this father and son team.
Btw, my egg found out that gravity was greater than my engineering skill.
