This is cool & cheap, but it's not "space." Space is 100+ km altitude. The importance of these stratospheric balloon flights is the demonstration that you don't have to be a government to do such things. After WWII, most everybody got 'stuck' with the BIG & EXPENSIVE way of thinking about space. BUT modern microelectronics are so small, reliable & inexpensive that we can now do tiny & cheap, and put our own micro-payloads into space - even beyond Earth orbit. Just search "Microlaunchers".

this guys success at launching something into space,(on a shoestring budget i might add,) is proof positive that space travel doesnt need to be ridiculously expensive, or be riddled with 'red tape' & bueracracy. well done rob, you're giving us the stars!!!! :)
