WATCH: Gavin James has literally launched his new album into space

We’re not sure if this has ever been done before.

To celebrate the launch of Gavin James’ new album Only Ticket Home, he has quite literally launched a copy of the album into space.

The Dublin man, with the help of his two scientist pals, managed to send the album on a four hour journey through the clouds.

It ended up traveling an incredible distance, with one of the images showing the horizon an astounding 1,000km away.

Don’t believe us? Have a look at the footage yourself!
