Kids have gotten large balloons + helium, attached a cell phone to it, and sent it up - to get a view of the curve of the Earth. Not hard.
(Cell phone in bubble wrap survived the fall. Phone camera videoed the whole trip. Phone GPS announced location on impact.)

...hmmm. Now I’ll have to do that with _my_ kids...

Yes, and how did the phone take good pictures if it was covered in bubble wrap?
