The First Rickroll In Space

Hiding a Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up in a college paper? Small time. This is what it’s like to Rickroll the entire planet.

The good, bored people over at Zug executed the prank with a weather balloon, a digital video camera, helium and a very loud speaker. Through the course of the four hour ascent, the sweet sounds of Rick Astley pierced the sky.

You hear that, federal government? You can cut NASA funding all you want, but our mission isn’t over until we’ve Rickrolled the moon. [Zug via Geekosystem]
