3.11 iconic photo, the darkness of space , the blue of the earth!! This was truly awesome!!

@Jericho704 13 лет назад

LOL "Dallas he's made it!"

@kdwormy 15 лет назад

It's amazing how different the sky looks just 25 miles up...

@alexrocker357 13 лет назад

EPIC!!!!!! IM STARTING TO LIKE THIS SHOW

@Neppybutt 15 лет назад

Wow! Videos of the curvature of the earth. This was f'n amazing, splendid, incredible!!! What was the distance that Dallas travelled across country???

@flyingsod 13 лет назад

What music is playing during the launch? 1:05

@SummerTheFuzzy 15 лет назад

this is so cool, space really isn't that far away

@TehEngineer2 13 лет назад

@kudakadere isnt the drivers side on the right? in america we have the drivers side on the left

@lordgooner234 3 года назад

I genuinely miss this type of content from the BBC. It's shows like this that inspired me to become an engineer.

@TheNW9mm Год назад

That's great, this was a film I produced!

@nima9327 13 лет назад

What was that black dot in the sun at 2:24?! Was it moon?!! Cooooool !!!!

@Garage_doctor 14 лет назад

nice video... how do u find it with that antena ?

@lennic95 14 лет назад

WOW!!

@edmoore 15 лет назад

Good question johnsmdm. You could in theory, but it takes so much energy to get to the moon that the the motor would have to be very large indeed (take a look at the Saturn V rocket that was used just to put three man in something the size of a mini-van on the moon). With such a large motor needed, it would be very heavy, and the balloon would have to be enormous - probably the largest manmade thing on earth. It's actually a lot easier just to launch from the ground in the case.

@C0mm3n 13 лет назад

I might try that with my hamster xD Only it will be a one way trip ;)

@woodyboy123 15 лет назад

i never thought a balloon could make it so high!

@pellabandgeek 13 лет назад

@Kurru ok then. How did you get those numbers? Math whiz maybe?

@solguud 13 лет назад

new sport: send stuff into space with balloon, drop it, race to find it. like geo cacheing but with randomness and space.

@deycha1 14 лет назад

hahhahaahah mega cool too bad batteries couldn't last longer, it would be awesome to see that doll free-falling :D

@hoboman444 13 лет назад

Is that the actual sound recorded on the camera when it detached at 3:30 ?

@Chrisuu 15 лет назад

Yay space action man

@TechnicolorYawn 15 лет назад

Weather balloons are *very* stretchy, so they can cope. The balloon *will* have eventually burst as the air got thinner, but after they released little Dallas.

@franks_nl 15 лет назад

a) A balloon won't get close to leaving the pull of Earth's gravity. Quickly calculated, this balloon got to about 35km over earth. Geo-synchronous orbit is 35000km, so there is still significant pull there. b) A rocket motor would work; it pushes away its exhaust, which causes an equal and opposite reaction, ie the motor would move the other way. But you'd still need either a massive amount of fuel, excellent trajectory calculation, or both.

@Olikiscrazy 12 лет назад

Also, you need a huge horizontal accleration to get into orbit too. If you just go straight up, gravity will pull you back down.

@TheKSolo4 13 лет назад

At 5:00 Dallas looks freaked the fuck out!

@bamboosa 14 лет назад

The carbon footprint of these little experiments is horrifying. And Dallas' foot broke off!

@spiruel 11 лет назад

We're running out of helium. It doesn't go high up enough. You need lateral velocity to go into orbit as well. Spacecraft's are much much heavier than

@screammoofyscream 14 лет назад

dam that was cool :D

@knoxclark 13 лет назад

how is the setup rigged to release the payload? What kind of hardware is used for that?

@God5Place 13 лет назад

Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!

@redvail 13 лет назад

What type of balloon they are using in the video? Is it named a weather balloon or space balloon?

@archbob1 13 лет назад

@YokaiJo Scale it down hell, I wanna bump it up a notch and send my chihuahua into space.

@fagie1980 13 лет назад

@trentcreek weather ballon, used by met office before satellites to predict weather

@bamboosa 14 лет назад

The carbon footprint of these little experiments is horrifying.

@ImTheStig1 15 лет назад

Just think where that balloon went after that.

@Paulelele 13 лет назад

I want to do that

@edmoore 15 лет назад

@blahdelablah You have confused some concepts: a) You're correct that most of the energy in a Saturn V rocket is used to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth. And in a balloon, you are still subject to that. At the 32km reached by this Space balloon, the gravitational field is still 99% the strength at sea level. You gain almost nothing when you look at the total energy requirement for getting to the moon. b) A rocket engine works against itself. It's just conservation of momentum .

@tombomdoodle 12 лет назад

@MrAskdesigners Err... no, no he's not. They just sent something into space, filmed it, and it survived the journey back. Over the top? No way.

@cvrgagvarak 13 лет назад

Virgin Galactic uses a plane to take a rocket to a certain hight, the rocket then detaches and blasts off to suborbital flight. I just had an idea, why not use a balloon to get a small one person rocket/pod as high as possible and then detach from the balloon and engage thrusters to reach the space. I believe this would be cheap and efficient.

@kevinal 14 лет назад

Looks like Dallas is missing a foot there.

@72fr250 13 лет назад

So that's what happens to balloons when they fly away...

@blahdelablah 15 лет назад

@edmoore Actually, I don't think that's accurate. Most of the energy in a Saturn V rocket is used to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth, once you've past that you need much less energy to set a direction. However, a motor attached to a balloon probably won't work, space is a vacuum, what would the motor be working against?

@saberwingNetwork 13 лет назад

@BriansVideoHobby In England they drive on the left side, and have their driver seat on the right instead of on the left.

@nathan87 14 лет назад

@woodyboy123 normal balloons wouldn't. As you go further up, the pressure on the outside gets lower, so the balloon would expand and burst before it got anywhere near there.

@joshie9119 13 лет назад

@BorrachoCommunity that is up at 90 000 feet where there is little air resistance but when he reaches closer to the ground where he will be falling just as if you dropped him from 50m

@TheDarkSagan 14 лет назад

Might want to check Dallas out for head trauma.

@s28400 14 лет назад

so if you put a rock and drop it you have a artafical meteorite

@KevinAZheng 14 лет назад

@kudakadere hahahahaaaaaha.........we are well aware the steering wheel is on he right side lol and in england you drive on the left side of the road xD although most people would be like WTF?!?!?! and have no clue why theres a computer there

@txdmsk 13 лет назад

@YokaiJo Yes indeed, mate. Google up the telegraph article: Students launch first do-it-yourself space camera They launched theirs from 90 GBP budget.

@BriansVideoHobby 13 лет назад

@saberwing505 Yes, I'm aware of that.

@saymos72 13 лет назад

3:07 eclipse

@BriansVideoHobby 13 лет назад

@kudakadere We've had computer controlled cars for decades, we just don't use them.

@russ1978 13 лет назад

After hitting space, how the hell did it end up landing in the same country never mind a few miles away in Cambridgeshire???

@cdj800m25 14 лет назад

@kenshin82789 because its related to chuck norris!

@stupidintellect90 14 лет назад

i've been through the village of chatteris, probably driven on the same road.....................i want Jem's job! a-levels are boring me out!!!!!!!!!!

@Designandrew 13 лет назад

why not try and lauch a model rocket from that height into low level orbit? That would be impressive

@loyalty1ish 12 лет назад

There were no sound fx added and the doll found was the same one. Not allowed to fake like that on BBC anymore.

@napischu 13 лет назад

@AznPuke Ok, free coffin cam then.

@KUDANTOURAGE 14 лет назад

Just to let you know if you live in America here in England we use computer controlled cars. 2:22

@druxka 13 лет назад

wouldnt it have molten or at least broken? at 600mph, the friction from air resistance would cook it. O.o excuse my ignorance.

@alexforeman8455 12 лет назад

Because there is no safe way of getting back.

@alienjoe123 13 лет назад

@Luigi51896 I'm American and its right hand drive, we aren't stupid.

@TheSpankymonkey 14 лет назад

@cowboyjames008 - There is always a price to pay my friend, always a price.

@Dandramere 14 лет назад

@roglowe It would have crushed their head. This would generate a lot of lols.

@OscarMikeFGC 12 лет назад

:okay: haha

@pomeroy600287 13 лет назад

@thefallendrakes So they just magicked the footage of dallas in space from nowhere, I imagine.

@DJHanksie1 13 лет назад

@MrDouglaswu sure you've heard the myth, if you drop a penny off the eiffel tower, it could have the potential to penetrate someones skull, so god knows with a build up of speed from 102,800ft.

@thespaniard47 13 лет назад

oooh i would hate to be that little man

@PeanutsAnDEgO 13 лет назад

@jackoskellington Oh Really!?!? wow i REALLY didn't no that! :P

@thana980 12 лет назад

i heard a alien at 3:22

@Blu0tuth0ninja 13 лет назад

.... what happened to the cameras???

@trakstar316 13 лет назад

@cvrgagvarak That would have to be a huuuuuuuuuuuuge balloon :(

@wilsonics1st 13 лет назад

I thought dallas would be on fire....^^

@Designandrew 13 лет назад

@metaleater9 after watching this actually the US did it back in the 50's..

@TOXZIKC 13 лет назад

did he lose a foot?

@PeanutsAnDEgO 13 лет назад

What really happened after searching... They gave up bought another doll and the end.

@dialgamanboy 13 лет назад

@trakstar316 maybe a hot air balloon

@roglowe 14 лет назад

what if it landed on someones head?

@fagie1980 13 лет назад

@bamboosa its not that bad! The only bad bit is the driving to find it after. The experiment it self is virtually 0

@metaleater9 13 лет назад

@Designandrew No air, would have to be a air and gas rocket. would be a feat in its self to make a rocket like that that could lift it that high with a camera, gps, and computer. and collecting that would be a bitch

@Michaelasds 13 лет назад

@njdevil281 OOOOOOk....

@MrDouglaswu 13 лет назад

what happened if it hit someone

@jakedman43 9 лет назад

This dude needs to focus on his driving while behind the wheel

@bernardli9514 7 лет назад

In the United Kingdom the drivers are on the other side.

@Michaelasds 14 лет назад

so nasa took millions of dollars just to get a man up near space and these guys took like 100-200 dollars to get a small doll up?

@OscarMikeFGC 12 лет назад

why cant this method be used by astronauts to get to space instead of millions worth of rocket fuel? a giant helium balloon

@napischu 13 лет назад

@AznPuke Then he'd get a free camera.

@SIX-SH00T3R 13 лет назад

@bibikulful or get into a airplane jetmotor,.. then bbc has some explaining to do :P

@OwlShadow 13 лет назад

if that doll hit some kid? whats when?

I cannot believe the negativity in the UK...it must be really tough for the few positive people left there...glad I got out of th place...

@nanicoar 13 лет назад

@J0hnnyH4ck3r Lies. A cover-up to hide the fact that they filmed ETs!

@MrAskdesigners 12 лет назад

Come on. There are like 20 vids of people doing more interesting things than this with high altitude balloons. It can be done in a non-annoying manner. And FYI, the balloon was not in space. It was only about halfway up into the stratosphere, and there is still atmosphere present.

@pellabandgeek 13 лет назад

looks fake. Wouldn't Dallas burn up on re-entry?

@pellabandgeek 13 лет назад

looks fake.

@MrAskdesigners 12 лет назад

uggg TV editing is obnoxious. They managed to take something interesting and make it into some MTV bullshit. The sound effects and stuff are so cheesy, and the host is way over the top.

@kevinal 14 лет назад

Looks like Dallas is missing a foot there.
