My God...a thread by "swordmaker" that's not entirely meant to enhance the value of his Apple stock.Amazing! What next? A post about the NFL or Angle's chances in Nevada?

Hang on...this stunt is supposed to have succeeded??? It goes 20 miles into the air and just happens to land in a place where the "launchers" were able to recover it?

Very cool! Thanks for posting this.
But, why in the world did they pick such a cloudy day to launch?

And this was done without a government grant. Imagine that.

To Swordmaker: Awesome footage. Believe it or not, this is what I wanted to do when I was 10 years old, but lacked the technical skills, the equipment (this was 1950), and mostly, the money.
To Gay State Conservative: “No way any consumer electronic device will function at 100,000 feet.Nothing made by Microsoft,Sony *or* Apple.” In 1969, a Commodore 64 computer (yes, 64K of memory), available to the public, wasa good enough to get Apollo 11 to the moon.

That was fun to watch.
Imagine the wonderful memories that little guy will have when he grows up, of the very cool fun he had with his dad.
There are many stories and lessons here... the best being about a father and a son, together, on an adventure.
For me the question begs: A boy needs a dad... does yours have one?

Very cool experiment. That said, it must be nice putting over $500 in equipment at risk given that the dad acknowledged there was only a “30 percent chance it would work.” Very gutsy move considering it could have as easily landed in the Atlantic Ocean or a large lake.
