Luke Geissbuhler and his son put together a space project where they had launched a balloon into space that carried a video camera and an iPhone so the video camera could record the flight in space and the iPhone could transmit its location using GPS. Surprisingly, the balloon lasted quite long and escaped the earth atmosphere even though it was struck frequently with wind rate at high at 100 mph. The video camera recorded the entire flight until the very last part where it had given up when the parachute was about to land. The result is that the trip to space for the balloon and the video camera and the iPhone is now on YouTube. Check it out below:
