This is so awesome, Father of the year material.

Think about the ambition he just instilled into him, his entire life he will feel as if he can do anything.

That is cool, and how about a little love for the iPhone surviving all that.

That is wicked! However, isnt it against FAA regulations to send an unmanned balloon into the Air Space without a permit? It could have easily been sucked into a planes engine and could have caused a catastrophe.

I would pay to see that thing crash into a satellite, fuck everything up and have them arrested for crashing a 100 million dollar satellite.

not to rain on this guys parade, however, there are whole groups of people doing this, it kind of a club, like those guys who shoot off rocket in the deserts. This guy and his son are in a long list of people who have done similar things. It is the new fad, can you launch a cell phone into space at little cost as possible.

Alexander · 10-18-2010, 04:01 PM

Pretty swheet.

OC Guy · 10-18-2010, 04:19 PM

awesome

Saigon · 10-18-2010, 04:40 PM

wow i that's crazy how they were able to get the phone back

"Unfortunately the battery succumbed to the cold 2 mins before landing"

JayKay335i · 10-19-2010, 09:12 PM

I want to shoot shit in to space. I live next to a desert. I guess I know what I'm doing over Christmas break.
