Space Cheese -- soft touchdown
Phew! This epic story of adventure has had a happy ending:
Earth landing for 'space cheese'
A block of cheese launched into the upper atmosphere on Tuesday has been found undamaged in Buckinghamshire.
The "interstellar cheddar" landed in Cressex - some 74 miles away - and was taken to High Wycombe police station on Wednesday night, the launch team said.
The wedge was still in one piece but the flight-recording camera had failed. [. . .]
It was found in a garden and handed in to the police, the group said. [. . .]
Dom Lane, of Shepton Mallet's West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers group told BBC News: "I am driving back from High Wycombe with the cheese now. I may try a bit to see if it has matured at high altitude [. . .]"
The cheese's autobiography, Been High So Long It Looks Like Down to Me, has been sold for a seven-figure sum to HarperCollins, purveyors of yer classy celebrity autobiographies (motto: "Publish and Be Edammed"), with movie rights optioned by DreamWorks.
