Amazing video: Homemade space craft made it to "space"

This is pretty damn awesome and I would LOVE to do something like this.


Basically a father and his son (read: father and friends, but they credit the little kid so he can get some serious science p00n back at school) create a "space craft", which is basically a weather balloon with an i-phone attached which goes up into the upper atmosphere while sending back GPS coordinates and live footage, also equipped with a parachute so it can land safely. The video is awesome if you're into space and science.

Video:

Also, if you're having a trouble reading i-club because of the lame *** security warning screen, do this to get rid of it:
Firefox: Tools -> Options -> Security -> uncheck the "tell me if I'm visiting a suspected attack site"

That should solve the problem for i-club viewing.
