That's just wild. Can they get into trouble for that at all?

You can get a weather balloon for $25-$35 on eBay and do the same. I doubt it's any different that releasing a mylar celebration baloon.

What a cool project to do with your kids.

A hell of a lot better than making a crappy paper machet' volcano!:wink:

Wow that was amazing. I wonder what would have happened if the capsule actually hit the ground instead of getting caught in a tree.
