DumberThanPaint discovered 11 months ago- A couple of individuals send a balloon with a camera attached to it to the edge of the earth's atmosphere. Some nice pics!

- Home pix from the edge of space! This was the last picture before the balloon popped and the payload (including camera) parachuted safely to Earth. What a feeling they must have had when they first looked at the pictures. From the page:
- "Behold the view from 117,597 feet, taken on August 11, 2007 by a camera hanging from a helium balloon launched by a group of guys in Alberta, Canada. Called the SABLE-3 (Southern Alberta Balloon Launch Experiment #3), the balloon's small payload box was packed with a Byonics MicroTrak 300 APRS tracking device, a Nikon Coolpix P2 digital camera set to snap one picture per minute, and filled with enough helium to take it to the edge of the earth's atmosphere."

- You know, as a kid, this is the sort of thing I always wanted to do... only instead of sending up a camera that takes one picture per minute I wanted to go up with the balloon and see it myself.
This is the next best thing though...Who would have thought a big ole helium balloon would go up 22 miles high before popping? - You know, as a kid, this is the sort of thing I always wanted to do... only instead of sending up a camera that takes one picture per minute I wanted to go up with the balloon and see it myself.
