if you don't fancy the walk then basically some geezer is planing on being the 'first' to play vinyl in space

all a bit pr really, but saw a opportunity for a media thread reference this, as in  where can talk about and play/listen to what he should play!

my thoughts/suggestion 

 

to keep things tidy just soul related and throw a vid up please...

Hmm, having read the article I'm sceptical about the claim that they'll be playing vinyl in space. Apparently a "space-proof" turntable will be sent up attached to a high-altitude balloon.

A quick check reveals that high-altitude balloons go only as far as the stratosphere, the "second lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere" (so says Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth), above which lie the mesosphere, thermosphere and, ultimately, the exosphere.

So, exactly as you say, all bit of a PR stunt. To keep with the theme though, this one might be appropriate...
