Photo from space

The Gadgetress has a nice piece up about a cell phone with service from Irvine-based Boost Mobile being used by students to take photos from space.

They used a balloon and did it on a budget of $150 with off-the-shelf products.

The price seems just right for do-it-yourselfers, so I say Boost Mobile should organize an event at the Great Park and have people bring their homebrew projects and launch them into space themselves.

Check out Tamara’s story here or visit the student’s Web site here.
