I'm going to build the world's first cheap space kit.

The kit will allow you to send a camera to space in under $50.

First, I will develop a very small and inexpensive camera. It may not be the best quality, but hey, what can you expect from a $50 kit. I will also have a very cheap tracking device attached to it.

Next, the device will come with a balloon and a small cradle for the camera. The cradle will house the camera and the tracking device.

Finally, I will add something to inflate the balloon easily so you don't have to buy anything. Maybe I'll include some aluminum and dry cleaning powder. If you mix these with water, it will release a ton of hydrogen, which has about the same lifting power as helium.

Once you let the device go, the balloon lifts the camera up into the out reaches of the atmosphere. Then, it pops do to the change in pressure, and falls back down. You can then use your computer to track the device, and recover the camera. You can take out the little microSD card and see your video of outer space.

So, that's it. You take the balloon, attach your cradle to it, fill it up, let it go, then collect it when it comes back down.

I've seen this concept on different scales. I've seen rather massive balloons carry up very high quality cameras and get very high quality photos. So I wonder how cheap this process could be.

I think it may be able to be developed in $50, at least less than $100.

I'm pretty sure that NASA has to keep track of every piece of crap in space, so I doubt they'd appreciate people sending cameras up there
