Boing Boing: “Chris sez, “My name is Chris Peterson. I run web communications for MIT Admissions and have been a loyal BB reader for years. For the last several years we have been sending our admitted students their acceptance letters in cardboard tubes. First because we sent a poster, but now it’s its own thing. 2012 is the anniversary of an old MIT balloon hack, so we put a letter in all of the Early Action admit tubes telling them we wanted them to hack the tubes somehow. Lots of them are great, but this one, from Erin King (MIT ’16) in Georgia, is the best.”

  1. What a great video!  Give Erin an honorary degree in astronautics.  If you like MIT hacks, check out a book called “Nightwork” by T. F. Peterson.
