Cambodia, one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia, launched an object into space for the first time earlier this month. The vessel—dubbed "Preah Atet," or "The Sun," by a local 16-year-old high school student—was a 20x30-cm Styrofoam box borne aloft by a helium balloon and festooned with cut-up pool toys in case of a watery landing. A digital camera, nestled in chemical hand warmers to keep it working at the frigid edge of space, took 2000 photos and a video during the 2.5-hour flight.
