It's not even close to the edge of space. It only went to 98000 feet = 30 km. Space is defined to start at 100 km. The curvature of earth seen there, is only there because they use a fish eye lens.
@j1d22 One. They sing better than most people, most likely including you. I don't like them, but you don't have to be an arrogant asshole to those KIDS. Justin Bieber is more successful than the boy bands of the early 2000s put together. Rebecca Black isn't a good singer but I grantee she is better than you. They get ridiculed enough, so just STFU...
@alexxicatto because it is not totally in space yet.. there is still air up there.. thats why the ballon can get there in the first place (because the gas in the ballon is lighter than the air surrounding it) : )
by the way.. you can do this on your own too.. costs you around 150$ to send photo cam and gps transmitter (to find the ballon) up there
google " space balloon project 1337 "
if you recover it you just need a new ballon for the second flight : )

@FCPWHAT because it was in a remote desert and they had a big budget to conform with all the regulations ;)
i dont remember exactly how it works but if you only have a small setup (photo cam + gps transmitter) under 2kg you just need to inform the agency that you will send a ballon up but you pretty much always get permittion (if you dont do it in a big town + plus use a parachute and styrofoam).. thats at least how it works here in germany
I wish i was using a special suit with a special parachute attached in the back, just to be sitting in that chair and, when the balloon pops, have hour-long sky dive. For to rise so high only to literally fall from the heavens, i wold feel like Lucifer. What a Journey!
Some guy in vid: Oh oh oh it sounds like a FUN mission. Are you fucking kidding me That wouldn't be fun when it break and your ass falls on Chuck norrises POWER FIST.
The video boldly and falsely claims, "They flew an armchair to the edge of space". This is entirely bogus: the chair went to only 98,000 feet which is only 30 percent of the the way to outer space, and just 2.5 times as high as an airliner!
The International Aeronautic Federation defines space at an altitude of 62 miles (327,360 feet); this is the internationally recognized boundary of outer space. The chair went to only 30 percent of this altitude. That is most certainly not "the edge space".
Man dude just shut up and stop flaming. Technically you may define space like that, but on THAT altitude having such a view is already space for 99.9% of the people. Point.
Also you didn't even tell us your ressource which you should do before writing comments like that! Peace~
@Mutio86 You speak for 99.9% of the people? I missed that vote. I hope the following link is adequate "resource" for you: look up "Kármán line" in Wikipedia.
I assume the did not cordon off an area of 100 miles around the launch site. So one day, somebody's gonna get crushed by a falling chair. After that, everyone's gonna be asking themselves how they could ever allow such a thing! :-D
@undisputed4life You thought it was fake and gay? What??!! I can almost understand you thinking it was fake, although there is ample proof is is real. But why would you think it is homosexual? That makes no sense at all. Did two people of the same gender have relations during the video? No they did not. Why would you use that term?
@wills2222 The thing that gets me personally, is how this is a blatant rip off of escape vehicle 6 which was done back in 2004. The same audio tone was used, same idea (That being a chair into the stratopause) and videotaping it.
Furthermore, they then try to pass it off as an original idea. Now escape vehicle 6 was a public event as well. The maker of space vehicle 6 was not involved in the toshiba project at all either. I find that to be ... annoying to say the least. Yet typical.
98,000 feet? That's nothing -- 18 miles -- less than half the height of low-earth orbit (what the shuttles use), it wouldn't even reach sub-orbital flight (or the simple "it goes up, it goes down" system), and it shouldn't wander far from where it was launched. Looking at the footage, I doubt it ever left Nevada.
It takes energy to go 40 miles up while accelerating 17,500 mph, and some silly weather balloon would go nowhere near those rates.
Balloons can only travel to the edge of space, no more than about 150,000 feet. This is only around 30 miles high, not very far at all. You cannot reach orbital altitude via balloon, let alone travel to any other celestial body.
The reason why meteors burn up in our atmosphere is because they are traveling at tremendous speed. They travel through the mesosphere and compress the air in front of them. Balloons can only travel into the upper stratosphere/lower mesosphere, and they cannot travel fast enough to heat up significantly.
It was nowhere near burning circumstances. The shuttles burn because they re-enter at a faster rate than gravity and in a rather vertical motion. It is intentionally burned to slow it down. A free-fall from just 98,000 feet is nothing-- well, except for the hard landing, but, other than that....
@HungaricusDominatus People fly things into space all the damn time. It's very cool that they wanted the real deal for a commercial rather than animation.
The space shuttle is seperate from the rocket, which are essentially entirely fuel. The amounts (of fuel) needed to escape the atmosphere are massive (when going from rocket to "outer space"). but those are going from ground to space. The higher up you are already, the less fuel you need to escape from the atmosphere, like rocket planes that detach from larger planes once reaching a certain altitude.
