00:00Do you recall the film, Explorers? In this nostalgic gem, three teenagers cobble together
00:11a ramshackle spacecraft from scrap metal and a hefty dose of creativity. Their ambitious
00:17project culminates in a voyage through the cosmos, eventually leading them to an encounter
00:22with some rather unconventional Martians aboard an alien vessel. In a similar vein of ingenuity,
00:29a father-son duo, Max Geisbeler and his dad, embarked on an extraordinary adventure. They
00:36launched a weather balloon outfitted with a video camera into the upper stratosphere,
00:41capturing breathtaking footage of the blackness of space. As the balloon ascended, it eventually
00:47swelled and burst due to the low atmospheric pressure, beginning its descent back to Earth.
00:53The balloon's journey ended 25 miles from its launch site, where it was found entangled
00:58in a tree. Remarkably, the device soared to nearly 19 kilometers in altitude within
01:05just over an hour, all with a surprisingly simple setup, a video camera, an iPhone, a
01:11GPS tracker, some hand warmers, and a note requesting the safe return of the equipment
01:17if discovered by a passerby. You can witness the entire experiment in the video below,
01:23with the most awe-inspiring footage starting at the 2.35 mark.
