iPhone 4S Sent Into Space

Yes, we’ve seen cellphones being sent into space, but it’s always something that makes us happy. This time it was two iPhone 4S’ that were sent up with a weather balloon, one recording video, the other taking photographs at regular intervals. Here’s how they describe the action:

We launched 2 iPhone 4S phones with a weather balloon to go up to 100,000. We put one of the iPhone 4S’s on an interval photo timer app and the other on video mode. We used s Spot GPS tracker (though I would not recommend it because it only tracks in 15 minutes increments.

While people on YouTube seem to think this a fake, I’ll happily keep my optimism and chose to believe that they sent two iPhones up to 100,000 feet.
