MAKE: Blog: High altitude ballooning on Canadian TV

High altitude ballooning on Canadian TV

The Canadian TV series, Les Pieds dans la Marge, had a successful adventure in high altitude ballooning, rising to a lofty 92,303 feet above the earth. That's well into the near-space atmospheric region - their cameras captured some really amazing photos!
