Whatever company makes that toy really needs to jump on this for an ad campaign.

Our toys are so durable, they'll survive a suborbital fall to Earth

Amazing. It's only in the stratosphere, but it sure looks like space up there.

I'd love to do an experiment like that with my daughter. I'd just be reluctant to risk any toy she was really attached to. My record for retrieving anything I've launched more than a few hundred feet in the air is not very good.
