Reminded me of those old Estes "Cineroc" rockets with the Super 8 cartridges, but a lot cooler (even though it isn't film).

Nice - enjoyed watching that!

Reminds me of that crazy guy who took a hot air balloon up to the limit of space where it was blue skies below him and black above - he then dove out and fell back to earth. Film cameras recorded it all. 1960 I think, what was the guy's name?

A 614 mph skydive! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger.
