SpaceBalloon, Father, Son send home-made capsule to space and back

[PloxZero]

Dont Dislike Videos If You Hate Them Then Just Dont Watchem.

[LiquidReason]

The song was sampled by Soulja boy in his song "Cold World", rumours are he saw it on a danny macaskill video.

[hypnocilicdreams]

Love this story! But they left out the pictures that neil armstrong took of his penis

[chilledbaker]

I like the song usually people pick crappy songs to go with there crappy videos. But this was a good song with a good video. Good job.

[Stevefhu]

It didn't reach space at all. Space starts at 100km (328,084ft) above sea level, a little over three times the height the balloon reached. Balloons can only reach near space which starts at 20km (65000ft). In fact the record altitude for an unmanned balloon is 53.0 km (173,885ft), only half the distance to space.

[AleatorInfestus]

I can't see the stars in the space.... It's a conspiracy!

[ihasataco1]

TAKE THAT NASA

[NexKro]

Omfg amazing song choice!!! I love the Band Of Horses saw them at the Rivera in Chicago, their music is amazing...

[rnsone]

Cool! And now for my two cents*PAUSE*(as I climb upon my soapbox), if this was an Arab or muslim man with his kid doing this, they would be in Gitmo right now! Thankfully everything went well without a hitch, imagine if it ran into a plane,or got sucked into airplane engine! Heck or even landed on someone's windshield n caused n accident?? (hops off soapbox!)

[TheHellnextdoor]

Lol k2 would that make you happy

[allanshoafrocks]

how far away did it end up from the launch site???

[metaknight95]

@allanshoafrocks in the original, it says about 30 miles away

[lisovc2]

I can't understand how they got the camera back.

[metaknight95]

@lisovc2 it had a GPS tracking device on it that transmitted to a tower as it slowed to about 15 mph (the real video said it)

[34577427]

Did they get their iPhone back?!

[naoisehayden]

Shut YOUR damn mouth Howard!!!! If that is your real name...

[mynamesnothoward]

[Draeco]

wow, most impressive thing I've seen. Great job lads, huge achievement

[agntsnake]

wow, the four people that gave it thumbs down probably still believe the earth is flat.

[TheConorshanley1]

@nicDrouillard Read the description and you'll get your answer

[mynamesnothoward]

@nicDrouillard you do know space is only like 100km from earth and once it reached space the speed of the capsule falling would have been ridiculous! Either way the battery life of the phone lasted all the way until it nearly landed..

[insaneass]

Was Michael J Fox attached to the balloon holding the camera?

[Krazyness]

how did they get it to fall back near them?

[balooko31]

@Krazyness it fell back to them because of the iPhone's GPS app....

[xxxbigxxx]

[madz92685]

Now tons of people are going to start doing this and camera pods will rain down on unsuspecting drivers on the highway. Then the government will make it illegal before I get to do it.
