If you haven’t heard the amazing news yet, a father and son team from Brooklyn, NY, had the brilliant idea to launch an iPhone into outer space while recording its 2010 space odyssey. The entire adventure lasted about 90 minutes and covered a distance of 19 miles (approximately 100,000 feet), putting the iPhone into the upper stratosphere where the homemade space capsule was able to capture some beautiful images of space and planet earth.
