There’s a guy named Bill Brown who’s been launching camera balloons for 20 years, and his payloads go to the edge of outer space. Yes, he
does this FOR FUN - it’s not his job! (Or more accurately, it
wasn’t when he got started or for the first ten or so years.
I’m not sure whether http://www.wb8elk.com/GPSL2007talk.ppt was
his day job or not.)

correspondent was briefly caught on camera in the KA9SZX launch.)
