Damn. To the edge of space for less than $10k.
I used to play with toy rockets. This is much, much cooler than that.
You can get to 100,000 feet with ordinary weather balloons, and much cheaper.
We launched many 100,000 max altitude flights for about $100 in helium and balloon. They carried an instrument package of less than a pound, including battery.
Some people have sent up cameras that way.
