The fourth- and fifth-graders from Cub Scout Pack 382 from Centerburg, Ohio, earned their Science and Engineering activity badges by launching a balloon into space.
No, there weren’t any Cub Scouts on board the balloon when it entered the atmosphere (even thought that would be awesome). The device was more like a small weather balloon, and the pack was savvy enough to attach a video camera to it to record the flight.
Check out the result in the video below. (We recommend watching it with headphones in full screen-mode for the best experience!)
