Daily
Mail: Two PhD students in the UK, Alex Baker and Chris
Rose, have produced some amazing photos of Earth, taken with a
$70 HD video camera stuck into a Styrofoam box with gaffer tape
and floated 23 miles into the atmosphere on a helium balloon.
The students, both studying mechanical engineering at the
University of Sheffield, wanted to complete their mini-space
exploration as cheaply as possible to inspire others to follow
suit.
