I can see the headlines now: "Old Lady killed in Copycat Near Space Camera Launch"

Makes you worry about getting hit on the head by one of these things when your outside.

Or if it crash lands into your house...

Knowing My Luck the heat from the camera will send it through My Ceilings onto My Head

it *did* have a parachute by the looks of it.

Just the facts:

1. America spends billions of dollars on NASA and Hubble and all their programs.
2. Canada has drunk scientists attaching a camera to a balloon.
3. A few of the Canadian shots were almost as good as the American shots.
