theatlantic:

 A father-son duo in New York sends an iPhone into space via balloon, with the phone recording video of its journey. Give this man a Father of the Year award.

Pretty fantastic. Though watching it, I kept thinking, “Man, I hope an airplane doesn’t run into that thing.” As if they don’t have enough trouble with birds attacking their engines and dealing with brutal labor practices, now we’re asking them to dodge iPhones too.
