<h2>GoPro Travels Space - Goes Above and Beyond</h2>

It was lousy summer back in 2013 when four students Bryan Chan and his friends planned out how to send a GoPro camera into space using a weather balloon. This is a crazy thought for myriads of people but, why not. These four crazy buddies decided that Grand Canyon would be an ideal place for such a feat; they had taken the permission with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to avoid any misinterpretation.

Their plan was impeccable and every minute detail has been taken care off. Not only GoPro, they have attached a mobile phone to the balloon so when it came down to earth they’d be able to track the location through mobile’s inbuilt GPS. But, they failed to receive any signal from the balloon when it landed and the map they were dependent was not accurate. Their whole journey and projects seem worthless and all the strenuous efforts were nothing but just a waste.

But now, after two years of that experiment, a woman found the phone while hiking and the footage of GoPro have been revealed. GoPro managed to capture a brilliant and out of the blue footage on its trip into the stratosphere and finally their hard work fructifies. TWO YEARS LATER [sic], in a twist of ironic fate, a woman who works at AT&T was on a hike one day and spotted our phone in the barren desert. She brings it to an AT&T store, and they identify my friend’s SIM card. We got the footage and data a few weeks later! In a Reddit post, Chan wrote.
