Fantastic. MIT should be proud of you. Keep having those wonderful ideas!
Ya’ll are too modest, doing this on a $150 budget shows an “astronomical” amount of creativity. You’re my heros of the day!
Good job Guys!
I am very, very happy for you.
Wow awesome job! That must have been a lot of fun!
If you guys want me to hook you up with long range transmitters and cameras for live video let me know.
Again, great work you guys.
I attempted this back in 99. If you happen to find MY camera floating around up there, let me know. It’s in a Hello Kitty lunch box with some candles I used to keep the camera warm.
This is really cool! I would love to try something like this.
“That’s so cool” were my first thoughts.
I remember having a model rocket with a tiny film camera in it when I was young.
Nice work gents. Go MIT!
Good old MIT ingenuity…keep up the good work guys!
amazing idea…congrats on the good job and hope to see more idea’s from you guys.best wishes from syria
Awesome project! Keep up the good attitude that you will continue to experiment even if people think you’re crazy. That’s how things get done in this world.
I want to be a foam cooler when I grow up.
Hey, just do what the lawn chair balloon guy did in California. He packed a ham sandwich and a BB gun and floated up in a lawnchair with balloons. A passing jetliner reported him to the FAA.
Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing with the world your ingenious work !!
you guys have really articulated mind..great work..keep goin..
Congratulations guys. Job well done. When I see individuals do something like this, it really gets me excited about science and space exploration again. With all the talk about discontinuing the Space Shuttle next year and decommissioning the International Space Station within ten years or so, it’s encouraging to see that people are doing things like this on their own. If the United States doesn’t get their act together and approve the funding for NASA so that they can continue with the Constellation program, we may never get back to the Moon and someday to Mars. We’ll be looking back one day and wonder why we just stood by and watched China establish a presence on the lunar surface.
I think organizations like the X-Prize and Virgin Galactic serve an extremely important role in the future of SpaceFlight. I really believe that once there is a way for the common man or woman to go into space in a way that is safe and relatively cost effective, we will really start to see things take off in the commercialization of space in a really big way. The limited budgets and red tape that government agencies like NASA have to deal with will never make spaceflight practical for the rest of us. I don’t mean to get on my soapbox here and I know I’m talking about things that are way beyond the feat that you guys accomplished, but that doesn’t detract from what you did. You should be proud of your achievement and I hope that this will encourage others to follow in your footsteps. So go out there and take it up another notch guys. Best of luck.
What a fabulous story – congratulations and keep up the fantastic work! From a fan in South Africa.
Ridiculously awesome.
Absolutely amazing.
