MIT Kids Launch Balloon Into Space…?!

To infinity and beyond!
MIT may be poor now, but the students are still freakishly brilliant. Students Oliver Yeh and Justin Lee built a $150 weather-balloon-camera-GPS contraption that launched into near-space and took some pretty amazing photos. Check out their time-lapse video, after the jump.
Warning: may cause some motion sickness. But check out the SPLOSION at 2:48! Intense.
