Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Puddinton, great guess!!!  The Yahoo article I got it from stated that very fact. 

What else is cool is that the dad seems very young, so all is not lost in that generation just yet!

The facial expressions on Stanley really make the video great.

You'll notice in the video that the box that is attached to the balloon had a camera and a GPS unit in it.  Once it returns to earth, you can track it with another GPS unit.

Aaaaaaaaand, the record industry killed another good thing.
Their is a copyright claim against it and its blocked.
I hate the record companies.

(Edit) so it looks like it was a claim is from the video owner to the person who reported the video

Ah ok, I saw that the claim was from the original creator, I didn't catch it until I had posted. Oops.
