    I wondered about the legality. I'm very glad to see that it is allowed:

    Good for them! These legal amateur flights remind us that what they (and We! ) build are the platforms that will be used for new science and engineering in the future.

    When I was in undergrad at Iowa State we did this once a month or so. We launched the balloons from our campus in Ames, and tracked them across the state, the (usually) recovered them.

    No doubt. What I thought significant was that it was a group of high school kids (with adult supervision) who gained international attention. This will motivate many similar efforts, to the horror of FAA and their counterparts worldwide.
