Hi Chris, your link was fine what a great film, loved it,for such a small layout as well! I am glad they got it back, as they said it was the only way they would be able to prove it

What a great idea and neatly executed.

I would have thought that it might have travelled further than Derbyshire to Cambs.

That was actually pretty moving to watch.. I am absolutely amazed at the results of their project! I'd love to know more about the technical details too.

Wow, fantastic film, great animation on the building part too.

[LMC]

Terrific!

Didn't a couple of Spanish students do the same thing about a year ago?

It supposedly cost them under $500, significantly undercutting NASA and the ESA.

Really was a great experiment im amazed at how high it gets

they said estimated max altitude was 37 kilometres

how high does earths atmosphere go near the end of the vid

it looks like it hasn't got far to go to be in space .

Loved the music aswell already downloaded
