did you get FAA approval prior to launching the balloon?

[Ryan Forrey]

of course

[Hellcommander245]

couldn't you just tie a string to the balloon, so you can pull it down before it pops

[Ryan Forrey]

a piece of string that long would be too heavy for a start. secondly it would probably just stretch and break over that length

[Abe B]

Inspirational. Love how you've got your family involved, great vid.

[Ryan Forrey]

Thank you.

[Ryan Forrey]

I don't think I would have been able to recover this footage if it got hit by a plane

[RynOSauruS100]

Awesome! Someone should show this to the guys at the Flat Earth Society. :D

[iamtherealdoctor]

what did u use to find the iphone?

[Joe A]

Will an iPhone get the same results in picture quality, or is something like the GoPro HD camera a better option?

[Jason Workman]

pressure decreases as height increases

[Joe A]

Great job, we're going to launch our own after watching this. We're trying to keep our costs low, and we have an extra iPhone that we're going to use for GPS. Do you recommend a certain HD camera and materials to use? Thanks.

[Ben Hager]

Havnt you guys heard of iphone camera attachments?

[Kais Smith]

It was an iPhone it was in the capsule protected from the pressure a housing. A housing works exactly the same under water.
