About this episode
Matt Kingsnorth from the Project Helium Tears debriefs us on his balloon launch to the edge of space, capturing images of the Earth, taking Awesome Astronomy listeners' names onboard and filming a Star Wars X-Wing fighter against the black of space in May 2015.
Quite by surprise, the onboard cameras even managed to capture images of the moon and a meteor streaking through the atmosphere below!
The video (which you can see at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ub0mFVDV0) went viral with more than 400,000 views.
