The Brooklyn Space Program

Ever hear of "Urban Space Exploration" ? Me neither. Until now.

(Thanks to one of my favorite bloggers Guy Kawasaki for the heads up on this one. Guy's blog: "Holy Kaw!"
"All the topics that interest us" is always a treat and this time he's found some people doing - yes - Space
Exploration from their 'back yard'.)

Luke Geissbühler is a cinematographer (Borat, Independent Lens) and founder of The Brooklyn Space Project.

Together with his son Max they built a 'capsule' from take out containers, foam, hand warmers etc. and launched
an HD camera into space with an iPhone for GPS tracking and recovery (brilliant). Their resulting video below just speaks for itself.

And if you think that that's a pretty cool thing to do you can go to the official Brooklyn Space Project site where you can support "Urban Space Exploration" -- and get a tee shirt.
