Sending stuff to space

November 17th, 2009 § 0

Hmm, it’s getting cheaper to send things into space…

Project Icarus at MIT sent a camera to near space for $150 (more).

Toshiba made this film sending a chair to near-orbit (more).

Steve Truglia is planning to leap from a balloon at a silly height. He has lots more money, though.

He’s been inspired by Kittinger – whose jump can be seen in this video by the Boards of Canada…(you may also want to check out my earlier blog post)

Playing with space might be fun. Anyone agree?
