Boston to Space in $150


MIT students Oliver Yeh and Justin Lee launched a $150 weather balloon and camera over 17 miles above the earth’s surface. Yeh's a local boy, so I'm sure he'll do some publicity stuff around Seattle soon. Was it the penny pinching old Asian grandma influence or the lifestyle of poor-student-ramen-based diet that got these two to create a cheap space exploration tool? Maybe both.

You guys rock! Can’t wait for you to post the video and your how-to guide on your website. Way to open up space for the common folks.
