High Altitude Balloon

[fluxinator]

Hey guys!
I have told this to some of you and for those who don't know about it I'm making a high altitude balloon to take pictures of the vast darkness that we call space.
I'm going to use a weather balloon to hoist a few cameras up to 100k ft and take a videos and pictures on their trip up.

Thanks man!

The rules and regulations for balloons are really loose. As long as i keep it under 4lbs,put a radar reflector, a balloon cut off to be tripped at a given altitude or time and not launch in restricted air space a quick call to the local FAA office to put out a warning for pilots is all you need.
