A New Hope

Space is cool! I always wanted to see space, but it's pretty tough when I don't have an extra $200,000 laying around. I wish there was some way to extend my eyes in order to see out of the blue-tinted sky above us.....

I'VE GOT IT!!

I will send a portable eye into space using a balloon and a parachute.

Hopefully, we'll be gathering images like this one.

Impossible, you say? Nay, skeptical fellow, not impossible. In fact, it's the goal of the Project Daedalus team: to fly a camera into space in order to photograph our planet from above and see the curvature of the Earth. We here at Project Daedalus have always been fascinated with space and what exists past the Earth's atmosphere, and believe we have found a way to see what does exist beyond the vague blue ceiling above our heads. The budget spreadsheet has been started, and more updates will follow.
