A Sea Of Red

saw this on cs and thought it was pretty sweet, father and son send a camera into space

So, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer (because I tweeted a link to this vid and fully intend to attempt this myself eventually) but...

Technically it didn't go to space. It didn't even really go that high in the Earth's overall atmosphere. I mean, it's really awesome and impressive. It is. It just didn't go to space. It technically only made it to the Tropopause or maybe just to the edge of the Stratosphere. Just sayin'.

Great graphic explaining this: Learn the atmosphere!
