you made my day with this vid thanks OP..i ve been to the making of websote too..excellent S+F

WELL COOL , I want one
S&f for them and you

Great footage for the next time a flat earth believer shows up and a great proof of concept. Their next plan is what is really exciting to me though; use GPS on a remote control glider to bring the camera back on autopilot until it reacquires the remote control signal to be manually landed right back where it took off from. This project is well done but simple in principle and a repetition of things done before (and personally I think it's a stretch to call that altitude the "edge of space" when the internationally designated line for space is much higher, but that's just me). Nothing wrong with that, but the next step they're planning is truly innovative.

yeah, im still amazed at this experiment...cant wait for BEAR-5!

fanatstic, s+f for you OP. It almost felt like it was me up there lol.

Awesome stuff. So peaceful up there. S&F.

I've seen a few of these videos now. I hope more and more come out with better and better equipment, really giving us a great show.

that is rather spectacular.

great find mate

Neat.
The ground..sky...ground...sky...ground...sky action made me kind of seasick though.

I wish I could safely fall from that height to Earth. That was so awesome to watch.

It's amazing that they got that level of quality for so little money.

Well Done! Starred and Flagged!

second line....

Absolutely excellent. I doubt if you could do anything like this in the UK. It would land in the sea, or France, God Forbid!!

Doesn't anyone else wonder why the government can't give us some crumbs like this of all the cool test and experiments they have going on with NASA and the air-force????

Just amazing what private enterprise has and can do on Peanuts compared to the GAZILLIONS of dollars they spend for less results??

Makes me sick to think what this little flight would have cost the tax payers.

Wait a minute. There aren't any stars. This has to be fake!

*scuttles away*

Very cool.

I have built and launched several Estes type rockets and have considered building one and installing a cheap digital camcorder in it for a birds eye view, but this is so much cooler.
