Space Balloon A Success!

Samsung, the world's largest electronics company, and JP Aerospace, a small aerospace firm in the Sacramento, CA area, flew a Galaxy smartphone to the edge of space. People from around the world sent messages, and watched them appear on the cell phone high above the earth.

Is that how he has to sell it, with a cleanly burned "over terrorist sites" aside, I mean , like a nod to that demographic was necessary? apparently so . Not likely able to just report it, has to be scripted by samsung and you know these people love targeting moving creatures that we will never truly grasp are actual human beings not ants, um sort of like us??

@chrislaucn It doesnt even last very long down on earth, haha. No matter, it's still the best smartphone around, by far. :)

@timbobel the cellphone it's self maybe not, but the thing arround yes, the cellphone was actualy just a screen. Imo that's how it worked

[CHRIS90ANDES]

these guys should get a gopro camera

[timbobel]

Most certainly not the first time a cellphone has flown to the edge of space. "High altitude balooning" has been a hobby for years now, and everyone uses cellphones. Also, this is probably extremely fake as cellphones do not have reception up there.

I wonder how long the battery lasts, especially under thisextreme temperature.
