youtube.com— On August 24th, 2009, Bear-4 carried an off-the-shelf Canon Vixia HF20 HD Camera to take video at ~ 107,145 feet from a balloon. Blog post about this project here: http://bear.sbszoo.com/bear3-4/bear4.htm

There isn't.... We're not technically in space, just very very high... even at the lower altitude we hit at ~107,000 feet there is very little air and very little sound transmits through the air. Sound DOES however conduct through the antenna wire, the strings from the parachute, the container, the camera body etc... so its those sounds your hearing. This is until it starts to come down back into thicker air.
Watching and editing the video was making me seasick... I figure I'd let the spelling mistakes pass and blame that... The original AVCHD files totalled in at 32GB, they may be made availiable at a later time, if they are they'd be linked from the projects homepage. Didn't notice the spelling in the caption, thx for that, the Video I noticed only after I saved it out and posted it to youtube, no going back now. I'd rather spend more time on getting the camera up there and getting it back then spelling and transistions lol.
So, it's not reasonable for a person to complain about something unless they, themselves go and build a better product/service? Stop wasting my bits by typing such foolishness on the Internet.
"Because only you can afford that opportunity on Digg? Unbelievable."Well, clearly, we didn't see it till his submission, despite two previous submissions. Like it or not, he (or a handful of other power users) are the only ones likely to get this noticed.

You should keep it in true HD format (not youtube HD) and put it in a torrent file, then post the link to that. I'm sure people would seed this for you, at least initially.<a class="user" href="http://openbittorrent.com/" rel="nofollow">http://openbittorrent.com/</a>As far as cutting the size down: <a class="user" href="http://www.doom9.org/gknot-main6.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.doom9.org/gknot-main6.htm</a>

Alternately, he could say it was all CG, then wait for people to say "FAKE, looks to me like they just ran a camera up on a balloon".
