LEGO Set from Project Hail Mary Reaches Near-Space, Sets Guinness World Record

On March 20, 2026, a LEGO set inspired by Ryan Gosling's film Project Hail Mary was launched nearly 35 kilometers above Gwynedd County, UK, aboard a high-altitude balloon. The set, including minifigures of the film's characters and spacecraft, drifted in the stratosphere for over eight hours before safely returning to Earth. This mission set a Guinness World Record for the highest altitude launch and retrieval of a LEGO set. Additionally, the film's IMAX trailer was launched to over 31 kilometers, earning another record.
