NASA has some competition

Teenagers in Spain sent a simple helium-filled balloon attached to a digital camera up into the sky to gather atmospheric readings. What they got was much more than expected. The balloon, which was only expected to reach 30,000 feet instead reached a dizzying height of over 100,000, capturing stunning pictures and atmospheric readings along the way.
