Homemade spacecraft

This video is amazing. Guy puts a camera in a homemade "spacecraft" and sends it into the stratosphere with a weather balloon.

  1. How did he get the footage back? Live feed somehow? I want to go into space. =(

  2. @ myroboticclaw, It didn't actually drift into space, they explain it in the video. Balloon goes up, slowly expands due to different air pressure, eventually bursts, falls back to earth with a parachute.
