Tuesday, April 14, 2015, 3:13 PM - In a world first, a pair of brothers from Sweden have successfully launched a donut into space.
It happened on April 9 from a launch pad in Askim, Norway.
"We sent a donut to the edge of space (32 km up) with a weather balloon," the boys write on their YouTube page.
"We spent many months planning this, and we are happy with the outcome of this project."
The experiment was recorded using a camera inside a styrofoam box that was fastened to the balloon.

"Do not try to do this without a permit."
The brothers are part of a science group called Stratolys.
Video of the launch was uploaded to YouTube Sunday. Since then, it has racked up more than 30,000 views.
