And he had a good idea of how to do it.

For most of us, the coolest pictures we've ever taken were shot somewhere here on Earth. Few of us will ever have the opportunity to venture into space and snap pictures. But British teen Adam Cudworth has gotten a head start on changing that. Cudworth decided to make his own spacecraft, one just big enough to house his camera, a GPS tracking device, a radio transmitter and a microprocessor in an insulated weather-protected box. His homemade spacecraft, attached to a large helium balloon, launched more than 20 miles into the sky and captured some incredible images and video for 2.5 hours.


Anyone want to send up your Canon 7D? {mischief}
