According to today's SMH, Camilla, a rubber chicken wearing a knitted 
space suit, ballooned 40km up into the stratosphere to test radiation 
levels after last month's solar burst, whilst wearing dosiometers, a 
thermometer, and two GPS trackers.  Along with the ride were some insects 
and some sunflower seeds.

When the balloon burst, she landed safely via parachute (as you do).
