Raiffeisen Bank has the tightest branch network in Switzerland, which means that many Swiss are loyal customers of this cooperative bank. Close relationships with the bank’s customers and members have a long tradition. In addition to financial support, joint projects and missions are a matter of course. For an advertising campaign, trainees from different apprenticeship years designed the Raiffeisenbank logo with a map of Switzerland on the computer and milled out the logo using a CNC machine. After the painting process, the mission was sent to the edge of space together with our team as part of a small event with the company’s employees and the Head of Corporate Clients at Raiffeisenbank Switzerland. At an altitude of almost 130,000 feet, with a view over the Swiss Alps and beyond, sensational pictures were taken, which our film team summarized in a short film according to the wishes of the Raiffeisenbank agency.

A stratospheric video with more than 200 million views? MORE THAN 200 MILLION VIEWS!?! That’s just extreme. That’s why the famous TikToker Antton Racca (5.6 million followers on TikTok; 1.8 million on YouTube) has decided that we need to take advantage of this hype and we need a new challenge, a new mission and with a bit of luck we might even be able to break this record video.

So this time we’re not sending a burger up to the aliens at a height of 130,000 feet, but a pizza that will be eaten at the end with a certain taste of space. In this respect, we constructed a special carbon holder with a holding mechanism, had a pizza baker bake a custom-made pizza and launched the mission into the stratosphere, which went as planned. Only the recovery did not allow the pizza to be eaten immediately, as our camera probe was hanging in a tree at a height of around 29 meters, but after 45 minutes it was recovered by our specialists so that Antton Racca could finally enjoy it: The first pizza from the edge of space!

It is not yet clear whether we will achieve a new record video with this. Nevertheless, the reach is already enormous, even though part 1 is online at the time of writing this report and just 7 hours later there are already more than 100,000 likes on TikTok. We are excited to see what reach we can achieve this time.

The sculpture ‘Silver Blaze – #journeytotheunknown’ is an art object from 2023 by Henrik Heidgen – it is a rocket made of highly polished, hand-engraved aluminium and brass with a total height of 45cm.

It was originally inspired by the Voyager Golden Records, two golden discs mounted on the two Voyager probes that were launched from Earth into interstellar space in 1977. In particular, the pulsar map developed especially for this mission, as a signpost for extraterrestrial life forms to our solar system and to us as a species, was to be reflected on ‘Silver Blaze’.
