Coolest. Dad. Ever!!!! My favorite uncle was just like him. While other girls my age were playing with dolls, I was learning to fix TVs and radios, which developed into a lifelong love of learning cool new stuff. And a career in IT.

My husband and I just finished watching this video, and we thought it was AMAZING!!! Being parents of our own little boy, we both had tears in our eyes because we were so touched by this wonderful father spending time with his son. He also inspired us to see if our son wanted to send any of his choo choo's into space!

Nice video, Brings back many memories of my son and his Thomas trains.

I'm afraid I can't believe in this story--even with the onboard camera--due to the fact that the image of the train's face was clearly altered in the film. That fact shows that the entire "trip to space" could easily have been falsified, just like any film company today.

The "toy train into the stratosphere" was a great idea for an experiment; my daughter watched the online video with me in amazement! Thanks for posting/sharing the joy and wonder of science with little (and big=) kids!
