Natty Light First Beer In Space HD
(by NattyLight)
I’m not a beer drinker but this is kind of cool. These two guys let an empty beer can and another full can of beer along with a video camera and a small styrofoam cooler strapped to a weather balloon float off into space up to 90,000 ft. high.
The balloon popped and the can of beer and its apparatus tumbled down to earth while being braked by a small parachute. The whole thing landed in the water and the two guys recovered their beer and camera.
There is some debate on the authenticity of this video, whether or not it is genuine or faked. Since it is supposedly edited down from a 2 1/2 hour flight, we don’t really know.
Looks authentic to me, but I would love to see the entire 2+ hour flight… take off to landing… well we saw that but I’d like to see everything in between.
They did not mention much about the camera itself, though small camcorders have the ability to hold several hours of video on internal memory or an SD card, as long as the battery is fully charged.
