Bang Goes the Theory’s Jem sends a six-inch doll to the edge of space by balloon on a budget of £500.

Looks like a fun project, just imagine the shots that could be taken with a slightly better camera.

–Thanks Pete

    Edge of space is an inappropriate title. I think you mean edge of the earth’s atmosphere.

      Correct me if I am mistaken, but isn’t an “edge” a line? Would that not mean that the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere is also the edge of space?
