Holy carp! Check out the The CAP Near-Space Project, run by the Charles R. Long Squadron of CAP's Missouri Wing. These folks are lofting a helium-filled balloon and an instrument package (camera, telemetry, GPS, etc.) to the edge of space! The photo to the right was taken on a mission in July from around 98,000 ft. Y'know, a little astronaut bling might be just the thing for those goofy balloon wings!
