It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s Hello Kitty.
That’s what a seventh grade student from California had in mind when she came up with her dream science project: sending a Hello Kitty doll her dad brought back from a business trip in Japan into space.
Lauren Rojas, a 12-year-old from Antioch, Calif., got the idea after seeing a television commercial in which a balloon was launched into the sky. She thought she could do the same with her Hello Kitty doll. She would test air pressure and temperature at high altitude for her school’s science fair.
“I said, ‘Wow, are you serious?’” Lauren’s teacher, Annette Cluck of Cornerstone Christian School, told ABCNews.com. “I was kind of blown away because usually students don’t do something that extravagant.”
