Motion Text

That this House congratulates the pupils and staff of Morecambe Bay Primary School for designing a physics project which sent a toy dog, Sam, into space; notes that the school worked with English Lakes Hotels and Sentintospace.com to use helium balloons to send Sam, GPS tracking equipment and a GoPro camera into space; further notes that Sam rose at six metres per second and reached an altitude of over 25km above Earth; and further hopes that Sam is found and returned to the school after being separated from the tracking equipment.
