A weather balloon they purchased on the internet sent it aloft.

They were interviewed on NPR.

I love it. "kiss" and well thought through. More power to the!

Thank you for finding and posting that link, which is being sent immediately to someone who needs a little inspiration.

Cool!

I've been thinking about attaching Emily to a tethered kite. I wouldn't send her up that high..........................but maybe 30-40 ft.

......until the tilt of the earth's axis can be seen.

Yeh. right.

In spite of the shabby journalism (of others), a great effort by these two lads.

Balloons. Hmmm......my neighbor has a chihuahua....

Nice one Lynn . Milo

Have you ever noticed that many extraordinary things are accomplished by young people who don't know that "it can't be done"? They haven't yet been indoctrinated by the self-defeating thinking and limiting beliefs that most people get as they get older.

Our goal should be to see and think what could be and not what can be. Henry Ford wanted an inline 6 or 8 cylinder engine (I don't remember which one it was exactly). His engineers said it "couldn't be done". He insisted that they figure out a way and after much thinking and figuring over a long period of time they came up with the basic engine we now have.

Some people are told "you can't do that" and they quit. Others are told "you can't do that" and it gives them energy to keep trying. There are always plenty of critics to go around. Don't listen to them! There are never statues erected to a critic. The recognition goes to those who swim against the tide. I heard it said one time that "criticism is the death-gargle of a non-achiever".
