A father and son from Brooklyn sent an iPhone into space a few weeks ago to record a video of the earth and its shape.
The object they sent it was made of a weather balloon and a styrofoam case for the iPhone…and it took 8 months of testing and researching before its launch in Newburgh, NY a few weeks back.
The phone apparently braved winds of 100 miles-per-hour and temperatures as cold as 60 below zero (the iPhone was smartly packed with hand warmers).
The recorded video shows the phone reaching a height of 100,000 feet before the balloon burst, plummeting it back to earth, where it landed 30 miles from the launch point, in a tree, where the father and son found it in the dark because of the iPhone’s LED light.

Cool! And now for my two cents*PAUSE*(as I climb upon my soapbox), if this was an Arab or muslim man with his kid doing this, they would be in Gitmo right now! Thankfully everything went well without a hitch, imagine if it ran into a plane,or got sucked into airplane engine! Heck or even landed on someone’s windshield n caused n accident??
