Apple iPhone up in space

October 21st, 2010

A father and son recently launched an iphone and an HD video camera into space using a weather balloon. After months of research and testing, they launched the balloon from Newburgh, New York and it floated up into the upper stratosphere, where they were able to film the earth below. It survived winds of 100mph and temperatures of -60 degrees, and when it eventually burst a parachute was deployed and it sank back down to earth. They then used the iPhone to track where it had landed and they found it only 30 miles from where they launched it.
