Flying a Remote-Controlled Airplane to Space and Back

David Windestål has dreamed of sending a remote-controlled plane to the stratosphere since 2010, and he’s finally made his dream a reality. Using a Multiplex FunJET equipped with a GoPro, GPS tracker, and video transmitter, Windestål piloted the rig at about 100,000 feet above sea level and got some truly amazing footage from the experiment.
