has reached the skies! Wondering how? Google launched their Nexus Mobile into space @ 60,000 ft to test the outer limits.

The so called Android astronauts were strapped to 7 payloads, which each contained a mobile and sent into Earth’s outer atmosphere using weather balloons. The phone was still functioning at the height of 60,000ft.

Amazingly the Nexus S Cell Phone could even withstand temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius, while the GPS kept track of the phone up to 60,000ft and started working again on the balloon’s descent.

The balloons reached heights of over 100,000ft and traveled at up to 139mph at the top of their flight. They were equipped with still and video cameras and footage published on Wednesday shows the moment when the helium-filled balloons popped and the plucky Android astronauts plummeted back to Earth.
