Niggling Baby'south Ice Foam is big on wild, outsized ideas. "By and large," says CEO Pete Angevine. "They stay as that, just ideas."
And then it was with some surprise that Angevine institute a group of local high schoolers willing to take on what may exist his most outsized of all ice cream-related ideas: Sending a pint of Little Infant's where no pint has ever dared to go—into space.
It all started early on final year, with some other wild idea from Little Babe's: To create sustainably-innovative pint containers in anticipation of their push into groceries throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Working with local manufacturer Union Packaging , Trivial Baby's fabricated a new ice foam container, shaped like a Chinese nutrient box and coated with a chemic called enshield, rather than the usual plastics-based poly blanket. This allows the (sadly) empty container to exist rinsed and thrown into the recycling bin. It is, as far as Angevine knows, the first ice foam container to apply enshield.
This was heady to the folks at Piddling Baby'southward, who started scooping their homemade ice cream from their "Season Blaster One" tricycle in 2011, and who are known for their innovative take on the world of ice foam ( cucumber dill flavour , anyone?). And then now, they wondered: What'south the nearly absurd matter we could mayhap do with this? Respond: Space flight, of course.
On a lark, Angevine called Simon Hauger, the main of project-based The Workshop School —whose tagline is "Teaching students to change the world"— which is around the corner from Little Baby's Due west Philly outpost. Ii weeks later, Angevine went in to meet with Hauger, expecting nothing would come of it. Instead, he ended upward in front of a room full of students whose teacher had already created a curriculum around his proposed space launch, trying to field questions the water ice cream entrepreneur was in no mode qualified to respond, about the temper in space and propulsion. "It didn't seem that cool to them," Angevine says.
For the next few months, some 20 students split into three teams—science, media and data—to create a balloon-rocket organization to launch a new packaged pint of Little Babe's into space. Angevine recruited local filmmaker Jesse Engaard to picture the bodily launch, terminal June. This week, they released the absurdist-docu-comedy "Ice Cream in Space" on YouTube. And Angevine has started planning his next projection, proposed by a pupil at The Workshop School: Cheesteak-flavored ice foam. Expect for it (on earth) soon.
