Joe Connor created this video sending a vintage Sony TV into orbit on a weather balloon provided by Sent Into Space, surrounded by cameras so as to capture this spectacular footage hovering above the Big Blue Marble itself. Yup, that really is a TV in space, for real.

In fact, the video is the mixture of two launches - both from Snowdonia in Wales, with two identical TVs, with each launch providing the opportunity to rig the GoPros in different positions.

Saturday music video. (Official Music Video). METALOCUS MUSIC PROJECT.

I'm pleased to say that all TVs in this music video were harmed as they crash-landed back to earth. We sent the TV off from Snowdonia and it landed in Bury, Manchester - taking in my hometown of Warrington on the way which can be seen in the promo. I'm proud to say that the TV got 99.997% above the atmosphere - it cleared the Armstrong line by nearly double (Line is at 19km we got to 34km).
