Space Ballooning is a phenomenon. A new hobby is developing. People can launch a balloon with a GPS and a camera. The balloon can take the camera to the edge of space, about 20 miles up, and film the curvature of the earth and space. There the balloon pops and a parachute allows the camera to fall back to earth where the GPS can be tracked and you can go get your very own copy of space on your camera.
