Monday Musings {Space Balloon}

This last week has been quite the busy one, but nothing really in the realm of 'Anything Else Fridays'. Just lots of family and celebrations. Sorry folks - this Friday there will be something here, even if the post is pictures of unpacked suitcases. You can't wait, can you! :)

This week, I want to switch gears from the sea to the sky. And as Mondays aren't really lessons, but tech/science thoughts or videos or inventions, I'm sharing the following incredible experiment:

If 6 minutes isn't too long for your child, definitely watch - it is worth it! A father and son team decide to send a camera into space - using an iphone and weather balloon. After months of research and experimenting, they set a date and come out successful, catching amazing footage and retrieving the balloon.

Although this kind of project requires money and probably a background in science/engineering, a motivating part of this experience is that he was making memories with his kids. However big or small, take the time to do the same.
