Of course what WOULD happen in the US is that you would get a million people swearing they saw an UFO and it abducted them and now they have superpowers, but that's another story.

Oh and additionally please follow the news a bit and note that obama is closing the quantanamo bay torture camp.

Found it... they even have some video. Their balloon seem to be getting thrown around a lot though:

And there's also the rather unlikely possibility that when you send your balloon up to airplane flying altitudes that your balloon ends up in someone's turbines. So you'd have to make sure that your balloon won't be pushed by winds off into someone's flight trajectory.

If you're interested you can check their flickr set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/meteotek08/2577051309/

You can gather more information in the project site: http://teslabs.com/meteotek08/ I'm afraid it's written in Catalan, but you can use the Google Translator page as well ;-)

There is real federal money at stake here.

"The pupils' incredible school science project has already caught the attention of the University of Wyoming in the US."

They may be a bit behind the times, but they give a free college education to students with a 2.5GPA or better. They also must graduate from a Wyoming high school. However, if they offer classes that do this type of project they may be able to increase their enrollment from out of state as well. I'm pretty sure they are looking for anything to increase enrollment right now.]]>Mar 20th 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/Mar 20th 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/]]>Mar 20th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/Mar 20th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/]]>Mar 20th 2009 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/Mar 22nd 2009 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/Mar 20th 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/]]>Mar 20th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/Mar 20th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/Mar 20th 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/teens-take-pictures-of-space-with-balloon-nikon-coolpix-camera/

They obviously used Google Earth on Iphones to locate the balloon - Im looking forward to enjoying three articles (at least) about this.
