AWFULLY WRONG, I've sent a blackberry to space. They send go pros on weather balloons all the time.
AWFULLY WRONG
first part was trippy as fuck
[URL="http://www.wimp.com/rocketcamera/"]This one[/URL] went to 121,000 feet.
You'd think they'd legally have to have a parachute down. The speed that was going could have easily killed someone.

Are people really oblivious to something falling from the sky?
I always wondered, how do they get the camera back? I assume there's a GPS chip or something on it, but couldn't the wind etc make it travel for miles?

Yes, but that's why cars exist.

Not really, if you notice there is a small black parachute (that doesn't seem to have deployed properly), but also that whole assembly weighs less than a few pounds. It's terminal velocity is probably pretty low too since it doesn't really seem to be coming down that fast and it only really rolls a few times once it hits the ground.
