Action Man sent into space : UNCUT GoPro FOOTAGE!
UNCUT footage of vintage Palitoy Action Man (G.I.Joe) aboard a Space Capsule being launched into stratosphere to celebrate his 50th birthday in the UK.
52 Mins
In June 2016, to celebrate Action Man's 50th birthday year, a 1966 vintage Action Man in an adapted 1967 vintage spacesuit, helmet and boots traveled 11.4 miles into near space inside a customised 1967 Action Man space capsule. The 'Unofficial' Mission was Kickstarter funded by Rob Wisdom, and the special met-balloon flight was co-ordinated by Chris Hillcox. Art & Science became mission backers during the funding process. Bob Brechin (Palitoy Chief Designer 1967-84) launched the mission at 3:53pm on June 26th 2016 from the training pitch at Coalville Town FC. The capsule broke apart at 18,384m above sea level and the tracker, Go-Pro camera and Major Tom all fell to earth separately. The mission lasted nearly one hour. Major Tom remains missing along with parts of the capsule and gold dog tags somewhere between Creaton and Cottesbrooke on private land (The Cottesbrooke Estate who did not grant permission to search) in Northamptionshire. The mission was a success - it remains the highest recorded altitude for an Action Man figure and vehicle.

"This is Action Man to Ground Control... I'm sitting in some grass..... What do ya MEAN you've no permission to rescue me...??!! DOOOOooooOOOooooOOOooooooo something.....!!!"
Well done Rob. You’ve made my boyhood dreams come true. What a shame the captain didn’t make it. Thanks 👍🏻
I still miss Major Tom.
Never send anyone into space with the door wide open... Thats the lesson here...
This is ace and Bob Brechin is a ledge!!
should of shut the canopy
Missing In Action Man 🎖😥
Just a matter of time before he is found, I only hope that he is recognized for what he is.
He may be lost in action, but I'm sure he will never be forgotten! Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding to you and your Team 🎖😄🎉. Does this mean Action Man is the first 12" action figure to go aloft as an Astronaut 🤔? WOW!
Reminds me of the Captain Scarlett episode when the Mysterons destroyed Cloudbase and Colonel White was spinning out of control seated at his desk.
11 1/2 minutes to fall, that's quite a drop and it is VERY high!
"Scotty, i've crash landed with youtube watchers. There's no intelligent life left on Earth of the Future except for some cats and a lemon beagle. The ship is wrecked. Better beam us back aboard. Action Man out."
It broke at the end of the vid I do not see em
Guess Aliens don't like action toys.
I wonder if he’ll ever be found
40:53 Huston ... It seems we have a serious Malfunction. Lock all doors. Man your stations.
Love your description!
Wow such an amazing experience, giant step for man giant step for action man kind. Did you use helium? the images are great, the beautiful crossing of stone rain, just beautiful!
This was a really fun video! Thanks for sharing! Reminded me of the classic song at the end....Ground control to Major Tom, your circuits dead...theres something wrong...can you hear me Major Tom... Subscribed!

Thank you! Cheers!
WTG GoPro! Still recording after it hit the ground!
I hear the sound of the earth
Houston, we have a problem!
We can rebuild him, better... stronger... faster...
Major Tom was found and put in a hospital
Rob - would love to email you / talk, but in the meantime I am running a HAB workshop end of this month and building up the flight with my Primary School after school club. We too are sending and Action Man up into near space as an Apollo 50 tribute. I was going to ask where you got your Friendship Module but see in the comments it was the real thing (well model). I am probably going to have to 3D print one. The Action Man we are sending up is called Vincent, last name Velator, taken from the River Estuary he was found in a couple of years ago. Maybe he is actually Major Tom? I showed my club your video, they loved it.

If you contact me through www.actionmanhq.co.uk or www.wisdomdesign.co.uk? Perhaps call me :-) Love to assist. We are planning similar 3D printed capsule etc in the future!
If he had just had his seatbelt on .LOL
😊😊😊 cool 😎 thanks 👍
41:03 And just like that... 😢
Interesting...I thought perhaps you either installed a timer or some other 'cutdown' system but it looks like the capsule thrusters got stuck at 60,000 feet just before Action Man bailed out of his breaking apart vehicle 41.03 or more probably he experienced severe turbulence even at 60,000' leaving the balloon to continue rising to greater heights. Nice video.
That was a great condition figure and capsule, the door being closed probably wouldn’t have helped much

Apple Aritag or similar hadn't been invented then, but that's a definite next time.
Dam that action man dead
Was the capsule shot down by the US Air Force? HA!
Was the go-pro or action man ever recovered?

Go Pro was, Action Man wasn't, although his dog tag was. See: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4yMrLmIdpDgXdI.html
Thank goodness it didn’t hit someone.

Thankfully more than one in a trillion chance. More chance of being hit by a frisbee, model aircraft, football or drone. Don't go out Walt.
David bowie going to space ha lol

You're lucky you didn't brain anybody with this stunt with a falling action man. Bet if you did you wouldn't have owned up

Maybe a chute and tracker on the astronaut would've been useful? I did enjoy the video and was still a great achievement!
