Baby Groot In Space!

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 opens in UK cinemas this Friday (April 28) and US cinemas on May 5th, and to celebrate the UK release, a dancing Groot toy has been launched into space!

Hasbro’s toy was launched in Lincolnshire using a weather online sun pharma balloon filled with helium and during his (its?) 2hr 41 minute flight, little Groot reached an altitude of 34,572 metres (21.5 miles).
