That's pretty awesome.... Imagine if that guy was the first guy to catch footage of an orbiting space craft ;)

Berz out.

That's pretty awesome.. but I wonder how much radiation that craft got contaminated with before it landed

Some guys from MIT did something similar for only $150 in parts.
I would like to try it build one some day.

RS group build? lol

NASA would've spent 150 Million on a mission like this, using equipment worth 15 million and being faced with 2-3 launch delays that cost 1.5 million each.

Man that is sucha cool project. It would be worth doing sometime

I'm thinking it would be kinda cool to try it at night time rather day. Being able to see all the lights on etc

that's awesome! I thought it would have landed in another state at least! Wonder what would happen if everyone in a city launched one at the exact same time! GG to some planes!

Wow that's pretty awesome! I wonder if the U.S. military radar detected its presence or not.

jepho 10-11-2010 03:11 PM
cool cool.
I would have thought you would need clearance from the FAA before launching somehitng like this.

TOS'd 10-11-2010 03:30 PM
Also would have been better if it wasn't as cloudy.

JSALES 10-11-2010 03:41 PM

Balloon expanded to 18' across before it exploded... I think so haha.

shenmecar 10-11-2010 04:50 PM

Instead of making a new thread I thought I would just add this here!

Half price space flight test... half price compared to NASA...
