A father-son team from Park Slope decided NASA wasn't doing enough to document the stratosphere, and decided to take matters into their own hands. After testing their "19-inch helium filled weather balloon" in Brooklyn, Luke Geissbuhler and his son Max headed upstate and launched the device, complete with a camera, into space......
-------------------------------
The two were able to track the device with GPS, and Columbia University Professor of Astronomy Marcel Aguera said the two were "very good but also very lucky."
Pretty cool what they did huh??

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".
